Volmerswerth

Volmerswerth is a Stadtteil (quarter) in western Düsseldorf, Borough 3, by the river Rhine.

[2] Despite increasing urbanisation, the rural environs of Volmerswerth still draw many people from Düsseldorf and the surrounding Rhineland conurbation.

The area is popular with walkers and cyclists, whilst in-line skaters are often seen by the Rhine at weekends.

At that time the owner of island and patron of the small fishing community was the monastery of Schwarzrheindorf.

The situation is changing because Volmerswerth is one of the few quarters near the river Rhine, where there is space for new housing.
