Vennhausen

Vennhausen is an urban quarter of Düsseldorf, part of Borough 8.

[2] A few hundred years ago the area was swamp, moor and fen, hence the name for the settlement Vennhausen, which is derived from "Venn", a Low German word for fen.

Vennhausen became a settlement much later than its neighbouring boroughs, starting in the Tannenhof.

In 1809 Vennhausen became a part of the communal district of Gerresheim due to the Napoleonic area reforms at that time.

Vennhausen is a green part of Düsseldorf, especially the neighboring Eller Forst (a small wood) and the Unterbacher See (Lake Unterbach) The later has two beaches which are popular recreational areas of Düsseldorf.
