Rhein-Kreis Neuss, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Rhein-Kreis Neuss is an administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia situated on the western bank of the Lower Rhine. It comprises eight municipalities and the city of Neuss, which serves as its administrative center.

The district took its present form in 1975 when the city of Neuss was integrated and became the administrative capital. This restructuring fundamentally changed the region's governance and political landscape.

Industry and craftsmanship have shaped the district's identity, and you can see their influence in how the towns are built and how people live today. Local festivals bring communities together and reflect the area's working roots.

The area is well connected through four major autobahns linking it to Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Mönchengladbach. This road infrastructure makes reaching the region and traveling within it straightforward for visitors.

The district was renamed in 2003 to highlight its connection to the Rhine River, which forms its eastern border. This change reflected how central the river remains to the region's sense of place.
