Uerdingen, Administrative district in Krefeld, Germany.

The district sits at 31 meters above sea level on the western bank of the Rhine River in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Uerdingen obtained its first city charter in 1255 and maintained independence until merging with Krefeld in 1929 through administrative reorganization.

The local dialect Oedingsch Platt continues as a variation of Limburgish, preserving linguistic traditions in the Rhine region.

The district connects to major transportation networks and contains the second largest Bayer chemical plant, providing employment opportunities for local residents.

The Uerdingen line, named after this district, marks a significant linguistic boundary between Low German and High German dialects.
