Ratingen

Ratingen extends across 88 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 50 meters, containing residential areas, commercial zones, and natural spaces for its 91,000 residents.

The settlement received city rights on December 11, 1276, under the rule of the Count of Berg, later developing into a significant medieval trading center.

The Ratingen Children and Youth Choir maintains German musical traditions through performances and educational programs at local venues throughout the year.

The city operates multiple transportation hubs, including Ratingen Ost and West stations, connecting residents to Düsseldorf and other regional destinations.

Cromford in Ratingen housed Europe's first mechanical cotton spinning mill, which now functions as part of the Rheinisches Industriemuseum industrial heritage complex.
