Elten, District in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany
Elten is a district in Emmerich am Rhein, shaped by the 82-meter-high Eltenberg and St. Vitus Church, while Niederelten contains St. Martin's Church and the Möllenbölt mill. The area spreads along the Rhine with different residential zones and historic landmarks.
The place was founded in 973 as a women's convent and shaped the region for centuries. After World War II, it stood under Dutch administration from 1949 to 1963 before returning to German control.
The district hosts annual celebrations like Midsummer Night and November Light festivals that draw visitors from both Germany and the Netherlands. These events shape community life and bring people together to mark local traditions.
The area offers access to health facilities, swimming areas, and Kneipp basins along with an extensive network of hiking trails. Visitors find outdoor fitness stations and various nature paths to explore.
Behind St. Vitus Church stands the STEIN Gate with granite wings framing views of the Rhine Valley and a 350-year-old Baroque garden obelisk. This installation offers an unexpected vantage point over the surrounding landscape.
