Haus-Knipp Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Haus-Knipp railway bridge crosses the Rhine between Duisburg-Beeckerwerth and Duisburg-Baerl. The main bridge is 186 meters wide and, with this dimension, was the longest-span truss girder in Europe when it opened in 1912.

A beautiful section of the Rhine bank, the industrial backdrop of East Duisburg in the distance.

From the towpath, which is easy to cycle along, there are always beautiful views of the Rhine with its shipping and bridges.

Evangelical Village Church Baerl

Highlight • Religious Site

The Baerler church, originally dedicated to St. Lucia, was already mentioned as a parish church in 1262, when Heinrich von Rode owned the right of patronage as a legacy of Cleves. In 1349, Count Johann von Kleve gave it to the Johanniterordenshaus in Walsum. In 1560 the Reformation was introduced at the church. In the first half of the 16th century the church was probably badly damaged by a fire. During the restoration work, during which the upper floor of the tower and the chancel were rebuilt in a late Gothic style, the church was essentially given its current appearance.

The late Romanesque west tower in front, which is divided by pilaster strips and round arch friezes, as well as the two-bay single-nave nave come from the second half of the 12th century. During the restoration work of the 16th century, the nave was reinforced with buttresses and a ribbed vault was drawn in over Romanesque wall templates.

Orsoyer Rheinbogen Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The meadow landscape of the Orsoyer Rheinbogen is an idyllic place and a place of rest. Three small bodies of water and a total of 17 so-called banks were created: shallow depressions that carry water in spring and are therefore particularly valuable as a habitat for endangered waders and meadow birds, for example. At the Orsoyer Rheinbogen there is this informative shelter with information about the nature reserve. More info:
