Where to stay in Neuwerk
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The nunnery quarter decides it. Beds in Neuwerk are few, so a stay here means the streets immediately around the convent church rather than a hotel district, and Mönchengladbach proper holds the bulk of the rooms. Saint Pius church marks the other pole.
Book Neuwerk if the Neuwerk Nunnery and its grounds are the reason for the trip, and take central Mönchengladbach when the evenings matter more than the quiet.

About Neuwerk
What are the main landmarks in Neuwerk?
Neuwerk Nunnery gives the district its landmark. The convent church that belongs to the foundation carries the oldest fabric in Neuwerk, and it is the building most people have in mind when they name the district at all. Saint Pius church serves the parish.
Between them, the two churches account for nearly everything a visitor to Neuwerk would set out to see.
What is the history of Neuwerk?
Neuwerk began with the nunnery. The monastic house recorded as Neuwerk Nunnery gave the settlement its name, and the convent church that survives from it kept the site in use long after the ground around it became part of Mönchengladbach. A parish grew alongside it.
Saint Pius church belongs to that half of Neuwerk, so the district's past is legible in two buildings rather than in any surviving street plan.
Where is Neuwerk?
Neuwerk Nunnery holds the oldest ground here, and the rest of the district runs from the convent grounds over to Saint Pius church, all of it inside Mönchengladbach.
