Our Landmarks
As the largest city on the left bank of the Lower Rhine, Mönchengladbach is home to more than 272,000 people of different languages, cultures, and religions. With 44 districts, each with its own unique character, the city's diversity is reflected in a mix of metropolitan flair and Lower Rhine countryside.

With its two large city centers—Mönchengladbach with its bustling Hindenburgstraße shopping street and historic old town on the Abteiberg, and Rheydt with its popular weekly market on the large market square—the city is uniquely bipolar, combining shopping, gastronomy, and sociocultural interaction.
Many visitors from outside the city visit the museums throughout the year, including the Museum Abteiberg, opened in 1982 by Joseph Beuys, with its special architecture and changing exhibitions, the Museum Schloss Rheydt, and the Borussia Museum “Fohlenwelt” in BorussiaPark. Architectural highlights such as one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau water towers in Germany and the baroque Wickrath Castle on the banks of the Niers are further must-sees. For nature lovers, the Bunte Garten (Colorful Garden) at the historic Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle in the middle of the city offers sightseeing and relaxation at the same time, or you can explore the culture of the Lower Rhine on the many cycle paths in and around Mönchengladbach.
In addition to its rich history, Mönchengladbach is facing the challenges of the future in the process of structural change. Formerly known as the “Manchester of the Rhineland” due to its textile industry, today's Textile City focuses on innovative concepts from research and development, including the local Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and the Textile Academy.
