Rees, River town in Kleve District, Germany.
Located on the right bank of the Rhine, Rees extends across 109 square kilometers of land in North Rhine-Westphalia, 20 kilometers east of Kleve.
Established in 1228 through municipal rights granted by Archbishop Heinrich I von Müllenark of Cologne, Rees began as a settlement of 600 inhabitants.
The Koenraad-Bosman-Museum presents exhibitions detailing the regional history, while the sculpture park displays works from German and Dutch artists.
The train station Empel-Rees connects to major cities, and two ferries transport pedestrians and cyclists across the Rhine river.
The Mühlenturm, constructed in 1470 as both a defensive structure and windmill, stands as the highest tower in the medieval fortification system.
