The
Lower Rhine region or
Niederrhein is a region around the Lower Rhine section of the river Rhine in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany between approximately Neuss and Düsseldorf in the South and the Dutch border around Emmerich
in the North. As the region can be defined either geographically,
linguistically, culturally, or by political, economic and traffic
relations throughout the centuries, as well as by more recent political
subdivisions, its precise borders are disputable and occasionally may be
seen as extending beyond the Dutch border. Yet, while the Dutch half of
the Lower Rhine geographic area is called Nederrijn in Dutch, it does practically not overlap with the German Niederrhein region, although one term is the translation of the other.
