Welcome

A house with history, right by the river

Stay in one of our comfortable rooms — most of them with a view of the Rhine — and enjoy a kitchen that guests travel well beyond the region to visit.

Cycle, walk or run straight from our front door through the Lower Rhine water meadows, a protected landscape. After a trade fair in Cologne or Düsseldorf you will reach us easily — and unwind afterwards in our beer garden.

Celebrate with family or colleagues in our banquet rooms, or roll a quiet ball on our own bowling lane.

Around the Vater Rhein

In the heart of Stürzelberg

Our village belongs to the town of Dormagen in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district, and makes a good base for visitors coming to Düsseldorf or Cologne.

Whether as a starting point for cultural trips into the Rhine-Ruhr region or as a stop for cyclists along the Kaiserroute, you are in the right place. The medieval customs fortress of Zons, about 3 km away, with its beautifully preserved old town, is well worth a visit.

How many guests do the banquet rooms hold?

Is there a beer garden?
Yes. When the weather is kind in summer, our beer garden is the place to relax over a cold beer or a chilled glass of white wine.
What kind of food does the restaurant serve?
We cook regional German food, led by the seasons — from hearty and rustic to refined. Seasonal specials complement the menu: white asparagus, matjes herring, chanterelles, mussels and fresh fish. We also put together cold and hot buffets and set menus to your own ideas.
Where is the hotel, and how far is Zons?
We are at Oberstraße 4, in the heart of Dormagen-Stürzelberg, right by the Rhine and on the village square. The medieval customs fortress of Zons, with its well-preserved old town, is about 3 km away. Düsseldorf and Cologne are easily reached — ideal after a trade fair.
Is there a bowling lane?
Yes, the house has its own bowling lane. It goes well with dinner — a popular evening for families, clubs and colleagues.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept EC card as well as Visa and Mastercard.
Who runs the Hotel-Gasthof „Vater Rhein”?
The house is run by the Remmer family; the innkeeper is Franz-Josef Remmer. For generations the building housed the village post office, and until the 1960s farming was part of the business too. Hospitality has always been its dominant side.
We look forward to seeing you
