museum Haus Bürgel •
Schelmenturm – The 26m-high (85 ft) landmark of Monheim is a tower from the early 15th century, which was part of the former
fortification built by the
Earls of Berg. Since 1972, the tower has been reorganised, also being used as a cultural meeting place. •
Deusserhaus – The Deusser
manor house, built around 1848, today is the museum of the
Heimatbund (local history society)
Monheim e.V. •
Haus Bürgel – This house is located on the border between
Baumberg and
Düsseldorf in a landscape conservation area called
"Urdenbacher Kämpe", a
flood plain of the
Rhine. The earliest source from 1019 states that the "
Castrum in Burgela" was built in the 4th century as part of the
Roman defences against the
Franks on the left bank of the
Rhine. In the 14th century, the broadly
meandering river changed its bed after a flood, so that
Haus Bürgel is actually on the right bank of the
Rhine today. Some remains of the Roman walls are still visible, although the place was transformed into a larger
Frankish manor house. In recent years, it has been used as a museum and biological-environmental research and information station. •
Gänselieselbrunnen – The
fountain known locally as Gänselieselbrunnen is located next to the town hall of Monheim am Rhein. •
Friedenskirche - The Friedenskirche (Peace Church) is a Protestant church in Monheim-
Baumberg, built from 1968 to 1974 according to the plans of
Walter Maria Foerderer and an outstanding example of
Brutalism in the Rhineland. •
Franz Boehm Memorial - The Catholic priest
Franz Boehm, who became a
parish priest in St. Gereon in 1938, was a resistance fighter against the
Nazi regime who died in 1945 in the
Dachau concentration camp. A life-size bronze bust was erected in his honor in 2020 to mark his 140th birthday. Behind the life-size bust are two panes, each measuring 4.2 meters by 2.25 meters, which was designed by Thomas Kesseler using the silkscreen technique. ==Transport==
