Neukirchen-Vluyn

The landscape around Neukirchen-Vluyn is the flat, open Lower Rhine plain, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town developed from the historic communities of Neukirchen and Vluyn, joined into one municipality in 1928. Coal extraction at the Niederberg colliery was central to local life during the twentieth century; following its closure, the Halde Norddeutschland, a former mining spoil heap, became a public landmark and walking destination. Northwest of Düsseldorf, Neukirchen-Vluyn belongs to a Lower Rhine setting of fields, village centres and former industrial sites.
