Schermbeck

Schermbeck is a municipality in Wesel district that spreads across flat land between the cities of Wesel and Dorsten, consisting of eight separate residential areas. The landscape is defined by farmland, forest sections, and small waterways.

The municipality originated from a medieval settlement near the Lippe river and developed into a regional center for agriculture and local crafts. Over time, the separate villages grew and merged into the current unified community.

The annual Kilian festival brings together residents from across the municipality to celebrate local traditions through music and regional food. This gathering shows how the community maintains its identity while connecting its different neighborhoods.

The municipality sits conveniently between highways A3 and A31 with good connections to nearby cities. Visitors can explore the area by car or bicycle, as country roads and rural paths connect the different neighborhoods.

The Dämmerwald forest area runs through the municipality with walking paths through natural landscapes. These woodland sections are an important part of the local recreation area for both residents and visitors.
