"The Rhine is the major and important transport axis of our landscape. It connects states and regions – but it also separates countries, federal states, cities, districts, and municipalities. A good example is the district of Wesel, which has its territory on both banks of the Rhine. But to this day, the Rhine is also a river with dangers, with bathers and ship crews being particularly frequent victims. In the past, the number of casualties was much higher, especially in shipping accidents and on-board work accidents. Water police and fireboats with advanced technical equipment are only a modern achievement. The victims recovered from accidents and water bodies on the right bank of the Rhine near Götterswickerhamm were laid out in a small building, the so-called "morgue" or "dead house," until burial. Near Götterswickerhamm, the Rhine makes particularly sharp bends. In addition, a large number of groynes were built here in the Rhine. These are shallow dams built at right angles from the bank toward the middle of the river. In addition to flotsam, drowned bodies were repeatedly washed ashore in this area of the Rhine. Until they could be identified, they were housed in the mortuary, which had been built on the dike for this purpose before 1890. The present mortuaries did not yet exist at that time. The mortuary was relocated to the waterside of the dike during the dike renovation from 1930 to 1933. After its destruction in World War II, it was rebuilt on this site in 1947. With the construction of mortuaries in close proximity to the cemeteries, the house on the dike lost its function. It was demolished in 1971. During the dike renovation in 2010, this rare relic of burial culture disappeared along with the last remnants of the walls. To this day, it is said that the mortuary was once a popular destination for lovers; it was also a test of courage to "view" the washed-up corpses at night. Since 2012, there has been a memorial stone with an information plaque not far from the old site.

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