Neuss Düsseldorfer Häfen

View Neuss from the air and it is easy to see why an early settlement was formed. Nowadays the majestic Rhine weaves its way through a vast urbanisation. Pan out further and the state capital of Düsseldorf comes into view.

The timeless waters of the Rhine have created a great European waterway. Barges work hard heading against the current. They benefit from it when heading north. Many dock in Neuss and Düsseldorf.

It is here that two large harbours were created long ago to connect and serve an ever more powerful local economy. Welcome to the world of Neuss Düsseldorfer Häfen.

An intelligent world of logistics

As well as the two original ports, new locations have been strategically added in recent years. These are of close proximity in Krefeld to the north and in Cologne, farther south.

Through their subsidiary the company offers a trimodal combination of efficient and low impact forms of transportation of goods. Besides ports and the waterways, rail haulage forms an ever increasing and fundamental role in their services.

Cleverly combined services

Created through a partnership of equal ownership with HKG in Cologne, RheinCargo offers their wide range of clients a full portfolio of logistics on a European scale.

Their portfolio includes one of the largest inland ports in Europe, Germany’s largest private railway operator as well as open air storage, depot, real estate such as properties, office buildings, warehouses and facility management.

BEACHES IN DÜSSELDORF

To the surprise of newly arrived expats, some sections of the Rhine in Düsseldorf offer numerous beaches on both banks. The fine sand and shingle are ideal for walking, playing, relaxing and picnicking. Especially on warm and sunny summer days, people flock to enjoy the river.

MEDIA HARBOUR DÜSSELDORF

The so-called Media Harbour lost most of its traditional commercial structures with just a few having been renovated. Impressive new structures have helped create a rather eclectic, haphazard and lively space wrapped around the waterline.

PARKS IN DÜSSELDORF

Düsseldorf became known as the garden city in the eighteenth century when Johann Wilhelm II, Elector of Palatinate, chose the city as his royal capital. Today, residents can enjoy several beautiful parks, splendid gardens and expansive woodlands.
