Hersel, District in Bornheim, Germany.

Hersel occupies a location between Bonn and Cologne directly on the Rhine River at an elevation of 57 meters above sea level.

The first documented mention of Hersel dates to 1136, when Archbishop Bruno II of Berg issued regulations placing a Hersel oratory under the Cassius Foundation in Bonn.

The Catholic parish church of St. Aegidius, constructed in 1899, represents the Neo-Gothic architectural style and stands as a central religious structure in the community.

The district connects to surrounding areas through the A555 motorway and the Rhine Valley Railway with light rail line 16, plus bus routes 604 and 818.

The Herseler Werth, a Rhine island measuring 1678.5 meters in length, functions as a protected nature reserve closed to public access.
