Always a desirable neighbourhood, Oberkassel is in high demand. The first group of people living here include some who still played football on quiet residential streets. Others came later because it was pretty and relaxed. Nowadays many move here due to all the above and because it is fashionable and sought after. Plus the river banks. Plus favourite gastronomy.

Oberkassel was originally farmland until four founders of the Rheinbahn bought most of the land. Many residential buildings stem from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s still create a charming atmosphere today. More modern family homes in Niederkassel are popular too.
