The Skippers' Monument in Grieth
Highlight • Monument
The development remained within the medieval city limits until a few years ago, where it was largely safe from the flood of the Rhine. When the water level was particularly high, however, the Rhine also repeatedly invaded the streets of Grieth.
Their course has hardly changed in the last few centuries. The silhouette of Grieth is dominated by the late-Gothic three-nave parish church of St. Peter and Paul from the 15th century. It is - separated by a row of houses - on the market square. The unity of church, market place and densely built streets and alleys give Grieth its small town character.
Among the monuments in Grieth is located on the northern edge of the city, 1371 first mentioned house Grieth. The building, originally used for defense purposes, has been converted into a stately Neo-Gothic building. Also worth mentioning is the listed parish church of St. Peter and Paul.
Signs of Grieth's connection to the Rhine are the flagged ship mast of the Schifferverein Grieth erected on the Rhine dike and the stony-like sculpture "Steinboot" by the Kalkar sculptor Christoph Wilmsen-Wiegmann erected in the foothills on the Rhine. She carries on her top a stylized upstream vessel. At high tide it is often flowed around by the Rhine.
In the local museum Grieth on the market place equipment and tools of basket weavers, fishermen and Rhine boatmen as well as utensils of the everyday life are shown. Supplemented by pictures and photos they convey an impression of the past life in Grieth.
On the banks of the Rhine is one of the last Rhenish Aalschokker. The fisherman Rudi Hell also conducts fish monitoring on behalf of scientific institutions. In 2010, in collaboration with a research station on the other side of the Rhine, in Grietherbusch, [4] for the first time in over 70 years, he again pointed out migrating young cockroaches in the Rhine. [5] These had been exposed as part of a European project for the reintroduction of the Maifisches in the Rhine system in Cologne, in the victory and on the Upper Rhine.

The "Inselgasthof Nass"
Highlight • Restaurant
Nowhere on the Lower Rhine do plaice, pike-perch, sole or turbot slosh lushly over the edge of the plate like here. The Inselgasthof is considered the top address for hearty eel varieties and excellent wines.
But not only fish lovers come here fully to the course, because the Inselgasthof wet is still considered an insider tip for paintings of Lower Rhine painters.
