Wesel

Wesel has served as a Hanseatic trading town on the Lower Rhine since the Middle Ages. It stands where the Lippe meets the Rhine, in a broad riverside setting close to Germany’s border with the Netherlands. The late-Gothic Willibrordi Cathedral anchors the centre, while the Berliner Tor survives from the city’s former Prussian fortress. Wesel was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and its rebuilt core sits alongside traces of the old defensive town. Rhine floodplains, riverside paths and long-distance cycle routes give the city a strong connection to its surrounding landscape.
