Monheim am Rhein (German pronunciation: [ˈmoːnhaɪm ʔam ˈʁaɪn, ˈmɔn-], lit. 'Monheim on the Rhine'; Limburgish: Monnem) is a town on the right (eastern) bank of the river Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Monheim belongs to the district of Mettmann – with the southern suburbs of Düsseldorf to the north, and the Bergisches Land to the east and the city of Cologne to the south. It consists of the city districts (from north to south) Baumberg (about one third) and Monheim (two thirds). Its typical dialect, the Monnemer Platt belongs to the Ripuarian language.
