View of the Emmerich Rhine Bridge from the Rheinpark

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewing platform is not a viewing platform in the traditional sense. Of course you can use them as such, but in fact it is a car drop off point of the WSA Duisburg-Rhine. Here, the Rhine boatmen have the opportunity to lift their cars from or on board. If you are lucky, you can see Rhine ships up close and how the cars are loaded with the on-board crane.

Emmerich on the Rhine Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The gastronomic mile with many restaurants invites you to a culinary stay. Take a seat in the beach chairs and view the many ships. Along the boulevard you will also find the Krantor & the "Poortekerl", two monuments that still remind us of the Hanseatic period.

St. Martini Church (Emmerich am Rhein)

Highlight • Religious Site

The founding building, a three-aisled tufa basilica with an eastern transept and the three-nave choir, was built from about 1040. In the west was a two-tower facade. During the reign of the Utrecht Bishop Bernold, the monastery was moved here by the parish church. Damage to the building is documented for 1145, parts of the longhouse and the west building of the Rhine were destroyed in 1137 and 1138. Further damage caused the Rhine in 1370, it remained only the eastern Langhausjoch, the choir, the Viert, the crypt and Nebenchöre received. In the 15th century, the original northern transept was replaced by a two-nave building with a north tower. At the end of the 15th century extensive renovations were carried out. At the same time, the round tower was built on the south side of the west end. Around 1600, the tail gable was built at the southern transept. In the early 19th century, the western aisle was canceled. The rood screen was removed and the floor level increased by about 110 cm. In the course of extensive renovation work, the aisle was rebuilt in 1874. In World War II, the building was destroyed in 1944 except for the surrounding walls. It was rebuilt in 1964 in a simplified form. During the thorough renovation from 1976 to 1989, the floor was restored to its original level, the vaults were recaptured in the gothic parts and the high choir was reconstructed.
