Leichenhäuschen Memorial

Highlight • Monument

I find it hard to imagine that around a hundred years ago 10 to 12 corpses were washed up here every year, so that a morgue was built to hold the corpses until they were identified.

View of the Rhine at Götterswickerhamm

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can enjoy nice views of the Rhine. In the Rheinaue, the Rhine seems very distant.

Götterswickerhamm on the Rhine

Highlight • Settlement

Head trees - typically Lower Rhine. Head trees once secured the wood supply in poorly forested areas, which is why you can see them in open meadows, fields and wet pastureland. The trunk of the young trees was shortened to a height of about two meters and the branches that sprout from them were regularly pruned - they are said to be "topped" or "beheaded". To prevent the older trunks from breaking apart under the weight of their crowns, they still have to be cut regularly.
