Marienviertel

St. Mary

By the beginning of 2015, the area between the train station and St. Mary's Church was redesigned. In recent years the district has been increasingly shaped by a mix of many different cultures.

Sebastianusviertel

The Sebastianusviertel lies between Marienviertel and Quirinusviertel. The Neumarkt, the Meererhof and the square at the Hamtor are the central points of contact in the district. The focus is on the St. Sebastianus Church.

Quirinus district

Quirinus Minster

This quarter is the heart of Neuss city center and includes the actual old town. The Quirinus Minster , one of the most important late Romanesque churches on the Lower Rhine, is also the landmark of the city of Neuss. The town hall, the market and a large part of the pedestrian zone with many shops can be found here. In recent years there have been efforts to expand the inner city area to the adjoining port basin 1, the beginning of the port area.

Poor Clares Quarter
