Neuss, Roman heritage district capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The city spans along the western bank of the Rhine River, directly across from Düsseldorf, featuring medieval fortifications and modern industrial zones.

Established in 16 BC as the Roman military settlement Novaesium, Neuss stands among Germany's oldest cities and celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 1984.

The Neusser Bürger-Schützenfest festival brings together thousands of participants each year, continuing a marksmen tradition that dates back several centuries.

The city harbor accommodates both river vessels and small oceangoing ships, making it a central point for grain trade and industrial manufacturing.

The 13th-century Obertor gatehouse, part of the medieval city walls, now contains the Clemens-Sels Museum with its collection of regional artifacts.
