history
The area of today's Rhein-Kreis Neuss was already settled in Roman times. a. historical names such as Novaesium ( Neuss ) and Durnomagus ( Dormagen ) prove. Other place names come from the Franconian settlement such as Kaarst , Grevenbroich and Rommerskirchen .
In 1816 the district of Neuss and the district of Grevenbroich came into being in the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg (from 1822 Rhine province ) . In 1913 the city of Neuss became a district. In 1929 a far-reaching regional reform was carried out. The districts of Grevenbroich and the remaining district of Neuss were merged and the new district was renamed the district of Grevenbroich-Neuss . In addition, the communities of Kleinenbroich , Korschenbroich , Liedberg and Pesch from the former district of Gladbach were added. In 1946 it was renamed the Grevenbroich district. (see in detail: Grevenbroich district )
On January 1, 1975, as part of the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia, the independent city of Neuss was incorporated as the new district seat in the Grevenbroich district and renamed the Neuss district . Since then, Neuss has been the largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany in terms of population, apart from the special cases of the cities of Saarbrücken, Hanover and Aachen that are members of the association. After the district council of the Neuss district had decided to rename it, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia approved the new name Rhein-Kreis Neuss on May 26, 2003 with effect from July 1, 2003 . The district seat is in Neuss, but significant parts of the district administration are not in Neuss, but in Grevenbroich.
The circle is a member of the teXellence network .
The Rhein-Kreis Neuss has been Germany's first Fairtrade district since 2010 .

The Electoral Cologne cross and the lion indicate the tradition of the circle, which in large parts used to be under Electoral Cologne and Jülich rule. As a result of the municipal reorganization on January 1, 1975, a change occurred for the former Grevenbroich district in that the previously independent city of Neuss was incorporated into the district association, the city of Neuss became a district town and the Grevenbroich district has been called the district of Neuss since then. The coat of arms of the former Grevenbroich district also applies unchanged to the Rhine district of Neuss.
The district coat of arms was awarded by a certificate from the Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia on May 2, 1952. The description of the coat of arms reads:
- "In the split shield in front a black cross in silver, behind a black, red-tongued lion in gold."
The district flies the following flag (award document of December 10, 1952):
- “The circular coat of arms on a white background, the two long sides of which are bordered by narrow black stripes. The colors of the circle are black and white. "
Culture
education
Since 1996 the medicoreha Welsink Academy with its state-recognized technical schools for physiotherapy and occupational therapy has offered over 300 training positions and the dual bachelor's degree "Applied Therapy Sciences" in cooperation with the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in the Academy in Neuss.

Partnerships
In 2019, the Rhine district of Neuss is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its partnership with its Polish partner district of Mikolów (Silesian Voivodeship). On November 9, 1994, the Rhein-Kreis Neuss in Mikolów signed the partnership document with the then municipal association, consisting of the towns of Mikolów, Laziska Górne and Orzesze and the communities of Ornontowice and Wyry. Even before the Mikolów district was officially founded on January 1, 1999, the Rhine district of Neuss provided a wide range of help and support in setting up a district administration at the request of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the German District Association. Between 1994 and 2000, over 100 different projects and events took place in the Rhine district of Neuss and in the district of Mikolów. In addition to seminars and exchange measures from all administrative areas, youth exchanges, school projects, cultural encounters, visits to the (youth) fire brigades, health, business development and agriculture were the focal points of the decades-long and steadily growing partnership. On May 26, 2001, the partnership between the now formed Mikolow district and the Rhine district of Neuss was re-established.
In the past decades, the focus has been further cultivated and expanded. In addition to the youth exchange, education and the development of partnerships between vocational schools of the two districts, musical encounters and the energy transition in connection with the EU Energy Union were the focus of the relationship. In mid-September 2019, a delegation from the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, headed by District Administrator Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke and with the participation of the members of the European Neighbors partnership committee, the percussion ensemble of the music school of the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, the vocational training center Dormagen and a group of artists, will leave the Rhine district of Neuss to the Mikolów district to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mikolów district and the 25th anniversary of the partnership between the two districts. The friendly relationship is sealed once more for future years with the signing of another partnership document.
