Alpen

Few towns in the Lower Rhine region have a history as closely tied to a medieval lordship as Alpen. This municipality in the district of Wesel stands on the broad, level plain west of the Rhine, an area shaped by agriculture and the river’s long influence on settlement. The Lords of Alpen were an important local noble family in the Middle Ages, and the town’s historic centre still reflects that older regional identity. Alpen is also part of the wider Niederrhein cultural landscape, where small towns, farmland and cycling routes define the pace of travel.
