The Rheinische vielger was a domestic goose breed that was particularly widespread in the Lower Rhine region .
This laying goose was used on the Lower Rhine between Kleve and Krefeld, Heinsberg and Wesel for consumer egg production. A herd book was kept from 1941 to 1965 or 1970 in order to increase the egg production through targeted selection of breeding animals . The highest laying performance of a goose documented in the herdbook from the 1950s is 126 eggs in 265 days. After breeding was abandoned, the herds were sold to Hungary and France. The breed is now considered extinct.
Rhenish geese are still kept in France, Italy, Hungary and the USA to preserve breed characteristics.
