Mülheim-Kärlich is ideally situated in the Neuwied Basin on the left bank of the Rhine, just northwest of Koblenz. The town is famous for hosting one of the largest retail and commercial parks in Europe, attracting millions of shoppers annually and serving as a major regional economic hub. Conversely, it is also a centerpiece of German fruit production, with a landscape dominated by cherry orchards that produce vast quantities of fruit each season. The town was officially formed in 1969 by merging the historic communities of Mülheim and Kärlich, both of which have roots extending back to the medieval era under the Electorate of Trier. For many years, the skyline was marked by the massive cooling tower of its nuclear power station, which was decommissioned shortly after completion and has since been dismantled. Today, Mülheim-Kärlich focuses on sustainable development and remains a vital part of the Middle Rhine economic landscape.
