Moers, Historic castle district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The city incorporates the old fortification wall extending 3 kilometers with a moat and star-shaped dam near the Rhine River.

The settlement dates back to the 9th century and received its city charter in 1300, later becoming a property of Maurice of Nassau in 1601.

The Gymnasium Adolfinum, established in 1582 as a Protestant college, continues to operate as one of the main educational institutions in the region.

The manufacturing sector produces machinery, construction materials, paper, textiles, and food products in various industrial zones across the city.

The former castle of the counts of Moers now functions as a museum, preserving artifacts from the region's medieval flax market period.
