Where to stay in Rheinhausen
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rheinhausen is wide ground. That size decides the stay: an address near Christuskirche is a different proposition from one out by Werthausen, and neither end carries the hotel supply that the centre of Duisburg does. You would book here for a particular street in Rheinhausen, for work, or for the find site at Werthausen, and look to the centre of Duisburg for everything else.

About Rheinhausen
What are the main landmarks in Rheinhausen?
Werthausen sets Rheinhausen apart. Samian ware came out of the ground there, which gives Rheinhausen an archaeological entry rather than a purely ecclesiastical one, and the churches account for everything else on the list. Christuskirche holds the Protestant congregation, while St. Peter and its counterpart St. Barbara carry the Catholic parishes across the district.
What is the history of Rheinhausen?
The oldest entry Rheinhausen can show came out of the soil at Werthausen, a samian ware discovery site logged in the district's record rather than a building anyone can walk into. No charter year follows it. Duisburg holds Rheinhausen as one of its districts inside Nordrhein-Westfalen, and the written past of the place runs through its parishes, Christuskirche, St. Peter and its counterpart St. Barbara, rather than through any dated foundation.
Where is Rheinhausen?
Werthausen falls inside Rheinhausen, a district covering close to 39 square kilometres of Duisburg, in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
