Viersen: Niederrhein Textile Town, Suchteln Forest, and the Left Bank's Green Corridor
Viersen has a population around 76,000 and lies on the Niederrhein (Lower Rhine) plain in Nordrhein-Westfalen, west of Duesseldorf and south of the Dutch border. Textile manufacturing dominated from the 19th century; the Industriemuseum Tuchwerk in the Suchteln district documents this heritage. The Hoher Busch, a forested hill in an otherwise flat landscape, provides a recreation area with the Bismarckturm observation tower.
The four districts of Viersen, Duelken, Suchteln, and Boisheim were merged in 1970. Duelken is known for its Narrenzunft (Fools' Guild) and Carnival traditions. The Niers river flows through the city. Viersen's proximity to Moenchengladbach (10 kilometres east) and Krefeld (15 kilometres southeast) places it in the Niederrhein's urban belt. The Hohe Schule, a former Augustinian monastery, is the oldest building in the city centre. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
