Leverkusen, Industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Leverkusen stands on the eastern bank of the Rhine River between Cologne and Düsseldorf, with the pharmaceutical company Bayer shaping its modern industrial landscape.
The merger of several villages in 1930, including Wiesdorf, Schlebusch, and Opladen, formed the foundation of present-day Leverkusen as an administrative entity.
The Schloss Morsbroich museum exhibits contemporary art collections within a historical moated castle, representing the intersection of past and present cultural expressions.
The BayArena stadium, with its capacity of 30,000 seats, provides an intimate setting for professional football matches and international sporting events.
The Bayer Cross, installed in 1958, illuminates the night sky as one of the largest illuminated advertising signs worldwide, marking the city's industrial heritage.
