Emmerich am Rhein

Emmerich on the Rhine - Pearl of the Lower Rhine

From one of Germany's most beautiful Rhine promenades, there is a wonderful view of another superlative: the longest suspension bridge in Germany, affectionately known as the ‘Golden Gate of the Lower Rhine’.
Those interested in culture can visit the Rhine Museum, while the city centre is home to historic churches as well as the modern Heilig-Geist Church with the ‘Schrottkreuz’ and the PAN kunstforum niederrhein. For those seeking relaxation, we recommend a visit to the Hochelten district with its more than 1,000-year-old collegiate church, the Drusus Fountain, the stone gate and the chair of the prince abbesses. Recently, measures have been taken to have Elten recognised as a Kneipp health resort. Popular leisure activities in the Hanseatic town of Emmerich am Rhein include cycling, water sports, horse riding and golf. Excursions on the Rhine are always a great leisure tip.
Emmerich am Rhein, with a population of around 30,000, has a diverse industry with well-known companies and is an administrative town and service centre. The favourable transport connections by rail, water and road make the town a preferred industrial location not only for freight forwarders and transport companies.
