Hilden

The terrain around Hilden is a mosaic of lowland woodland and heath near the Rhine, which has influenced both the town’s form and its local economy. The small Itter stream crosses the municipality before joining the Rhine, while Hildener Heide and the Stadtwald create a green edge to this densely settled part of North Rhine-Westphalia. Mittelstraße forms the centre’s established pedestrian shopping street. Hilden is also the birthplace of Wilhelm Fabry (1560–1634), a pioneering surgeon commemorated by the Wilhelm Fabry Museum. Positioned between Düsseldorf and Solingen, the town belongs to the wider Rhine-Ruhr urban region while retaining easy access to forest paths.
