There are tentative attempts to open up the municipality for tourism. The municipality of Neunkirchen-Seelscheid has long been a local recreation area in the Cologne area . Many Cologne residents have a holiday or second home here, mostly in the immediate vicinity of the extensive forest areas of the Wahnbachtal or the Bröltal.
The community of Neunkirchen-Seelscheid has to accept enormous infrastructural problems. The mere fact that the municipality consists of two main towns, which are also geographically several kilometers apart, separated by a valley, means that the provision of infrastructure is partially overlapping. In addition, there are numerous geographical and economic restrictions resulting from both the location of the Wahnbachtalsperre in the municipality and the drinking water protection areas assigned to it . Thus, the municipality is limited in its free spatial expansion, as are businesses in a free settlement or expansion. The desire to expand the community as a local recreation area also contributes to this situation. This was decisive for the decision to concentrate primarily on environmentally friendly businesses in the commercial sector.
