geography

Reesereyland is an old Rhine peninsula southeast of the Rees core city, in the east bounded by an arched arm of the old Rhine and in the west bounded by the current course of the Rhine . In the Middle Ages the area was still on the left bank of the Rhine. On Reesereyland was a small peasantry that existed in modern times only three yards, the van Willichshof , the Steppenhof and the United Sandenhof . Two arms of the river, created by gravel mining, lead from the Rhine to the peninsula, where there are landing stages for cargo ships and their loading. The area on both sides of the Old Rhine is part of the KLE-030 Old Rhine Reeser-Eyland nature reserve . The former municipality Reesereyland had an area of ​​4.1 km².

history

Since the 19th century Reesereyland formed a rural community in the mayorry Rees-Land (since 1928 Amt Rees Land ) in the Rees district in the Düsseldorf administrative district . During the Second World War , one of the Allied forces' Rhine crossings as part of Operation Plunder took place near Reesereyland in March 1945 . On July 1, 1969, Reesereyland was incorporated into the city of Rees by the Rees County Reorganization Act . In the period that followed, all of the existing buildings were removed so that the area is now uninhabited.
