Wesel, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Located at the confluence of the Lippe and Rhine rivers, Wesel functions as an administrative center with multiple government offices and industrial facilities.
During World War II, the city experienced extensive damage, with 97 percent of its structures destroyed by aerial bombardments in February 1945.
The Willibrordi Cathedral stands as the central religious structure in Wesel, displaying architectural elements that represent centuries of German religious traditions.
The central railway station connects travelers to major German cities including Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Oberhausen through regular regional train services.
The Citadelle Napoleon, constructed during French occupation, remains as a testament to the military fortifications that shaped the city's strategic importance.
