Rommerskirchen

Rommerskirchen is a municipality in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss region that spreads across rural land and comprises several smaller villages. The area sits in flat terrain and mixes farmland with residential neighborhoods and industrial facilities.

The region has deep roots in ancient times, when Roman estates and Frankish settlements shaped the landscape. In the 20th century, the area became an important center for industry and energy production.

The area is home to the Feld- und Werksbahnmuseum in Oekhoven, which displays restored railway vehicles and historic locomotives from industrial times. Visitors can learn how goods moved through the region and understand the importance of rail transport in shaping local life.

The area is well connected by train, with services to major cities like Cologne and Düsseldorf for commuters and visitors. The flat terrain makes it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle once you arrive.

One of Germany's earliest high-voltage power lines runs through this area and was built in the 1950s to carry electricity across long distances. This infrastructure project set a new standard for how the nation could distribute power.
