Rhein-Kreis Neuss

The Rhein-Kreis Neuss district spans 576 square kilometers on the left bank of the Lower Rhine, containing eight municipalities including the city of Neuss.

The district underwent significant reorganization in 1975 when the city of Neuss integrated into the administrative region and became its capital, replacing Grevenbroich.

The district maintains strong industrial connections while preserving traditional festivals and events throughout its municipalities, including the marksmen's festival in Neuss.

The region benefits from four major autobahns connecting to Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Mönchengladbach, facilitating transportation across the Rhine-Westphalia area.

The district changed its name to Rhein-Kreis Neuss in 2003 to emphasize its connection to the Rhine River, which forms its eastern border.
