Neusser Hafen, Commercial port in Neuss, Germany
Neusser Hafen is a commercial port in Neuss that connects waterways with rail and road networks across North Rhine-Westphalia. The complex includes storage facilities, transfer stations, and office buildings along the Rhine.
The port originated during the industrial expansion of the Rhine region in the 19th century. It developed into a key distribution point for goods moving between Düsseldorf and Cologne.
The harbor district has only about 37 residents per square kilometer, the lowest density in Neuss. Basin 1, next to the old town, now holds a cinema complex, an office building and the Schulforum of Gymnasium Marienberg. A training center of the Neuss Rowing Club moved to the new Uferpark on Mole II in 2015.
The harbour entrance lies at 30 m above sea level, and the site is split into five basins. Basin 1 borders the old town directly; a stairway at the basin head and a planned bridge from the Quirinus-Münster are meant to link it with the centre. The rest of the area is working industry, so expect restricted access.
