Rheinhausen

Rheinhausen is an administrative district in Duisburg that extends along the Rhine and comprises five different neighborhoods. The area combines urban zones with quieter residential areas and green spaces that define its landscape.

The district was an independent city until 1975 and was shaped by the Krupp steelworks, which brought industry and employment for decades. The decline of steel production fundamentally transformed the area and led to economic upheaval in the region.

The name refers to the location along the Rhine, where the settlement historically developed. Today residential neighborhoods and green spaces define the area, while the river continues to shape its character.

The area is well connected by several train stations that provide access to neighboring cities and serve commuters. Visitors should check the best route to their destination, as the stations spread across the district.

The monument to worker solidarity arose as a memory of the major strikes in 1987, when the closure of the steelworks threatened thousands of workers. Today it stands as testimony to a turbulent time when workers fought for their future.
