Rhein-Berg District

The Rhein-Berg District spans 438 square kilometers of mixed landscapes, with Bergisch Gladbach serving as its administrative center at 235 meters elevation.

The formation of this administrative region resulted from territorial restructuring initiatives in North Rhine-Westphalia during the post-war reconstruction period of Germany.

Eight municipalities within the district maintain distinct local traditions through regular community gatherings, seasonal markets, and regional celebrations throughout the year.

The district provides comprehensive public transportation networks connecting all municipalities, with direct access to major highways and railway systems of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The district administration participates in Landschaftsverband Rheinland, implementing specific programs for developing extensive pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure across municipalities.
