Meerbusch

Meerbusch is a municipality in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss in North Rhine-Westphalia, situated along the Rhine between Krefeld and Düsseldorf. Eight separate districts spread across the river landscape and are connected by roads and green corridors.

The municipality came into being in 1970 when eight formerly independent villages, among them Büderich, Osterath, and Lank-Latum, joined together. This reform aimed to simplify administration in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss and make infrastructure more efficient.

The Forum Wasserturm transforms an old industrial structure into a local stage where residents gather for theater evenings and concerts throughout the year. Many people appreciate how the separate villages keep their smaller scale and neighborly feel even though larger cities lie close by.

The municipality sits close to Düsseldorf Airport and offers good highway connections, so visitors can reach the individual districts quickly. Those walking along the Rhine find several places to stop in the villages and can orient themselves with local signposts.

The municipality ranks among the places with the highest concentration of millionaires in all of North Rhine-Westphalia, pointing to the region's economic strength. At the same time, the settlement pattern remains largely rural in character and avoids the typical look of dense suburbs.
