<p>80.141.239.46: </p> <hr /> <div>{{otheruses}}<br /> <br /> '''Rheinhausen''' ({{IPA-de|ʁaɪnˈhaʊzən}}) is a district of the city of [[Duisburg]] in [[Germany]], with a population of 79,566 ([[December 31]], [[2004]]) and an area of 38.68&amp;nbsp;km². It lies on the left bank of the river [[Rhine]].<br /> <br /> Rheinhausen consists of the neighbourhoods: Rumeln-Kaldenhausen, Hochemmerich (including Asterlagen), Bergheim (including Trompet-Oestrum), Friemersheim, and the central part: Rheinhausen-Mitte, which has a population of 8955.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> In the surroundings of Rheinhausen, there are traces of settlements dating back to the Roman period. Remains of a guardhouse on the Roman boundary, the [[Limes]], have been found during [[sanitary sewer|sewerage]] works. Later, the Irish bishop [[Lutger]] is said to have done [[missionary]] work in this region.<br /> <br /> Until administrative reorganisation in 1975 Rheinhausen had been an independent city. It had received city rights in 1934, but the original city charter has been lost because of fire during [[World War II]].<br /> <br /> On May 8, 1945 the [[ADSEC]] Engineer Group A, led by Col. Swenholt commanding officer of the [[332nd Engineer General Service Regiment]], constructed a railroad bridge across the River Rhine between Duisburg and Rheinhausen. The bridge was 2,815 feet (0.86 kM) in length, and took six days, fifteen hours and twenty minutes to construct, a record time. The Bridge was named &quot;Victory Bridge&quot;.<br /> <br /> Rheinhausen had long been an industrial city, with coal mines and steelworks. The large steel company [[Krupp]] owned a plant in the city. It was closed in 1986.<br /> <br /> Near the Rheinhausen central is the City-Hall-Rheinhausen, The Alpha-Haus and a school, which is called [[Realschule Rheinhausen I (Körnerplatz)]].<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Pylons of Duisburg-Rheinhausen]]<br /> <br /> {{coord|51|24|59|N|6|43|53|E|region:DE-NW_type:landmark|display=title}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Districts of Germany]]<br /> [[Category:Articles lacking sources (Erik9bot)]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Rheinhausen (Duisburg)]]<br /> [[it:Rheinhausen (distretto di Duisburg)]]<br /> [[pl:Rheinhausen]]<br /> [[tr:Rheinhausen (Duisburg)]]</div>
