Studying in Kamp-Lintfort

Anyone who likes to go shopping or simply needs to run errands will definitely find what they are looking for in the city centre. The modernised pedestrian zone offers a wide selection of large chains and independent stores. Many small cafés and bakeries invite you to relax and linger after lectures. In the evenings and at night, the city is rather quiet with only a few bars and pubs - if you are looking for more choice or want to party in a club, the city of Moers, which is almost twice the size, is close by.

The most famous highlight of the city is Kamp Monastery from 1123. Once one of the most important religious art and cultural sites in the region, the monastery was dissolved in 1802 under the rule of Napoleon. In the treasury, guests can still experience its centuries-long history, along with all its ups and downs. In the beautiful terrace garden, which is part of the monastery, various events are also held throughout the year against a historical backdrop, such as a music festival, an open-air theatre or the Christmas market.

Mining was especially important for the history of the city. If you are interested in that, you can stop by the mining plant park in the south of the city. The former industrial area is now a large nature park with historical buildings and a zoo. In addition to a visit to the museum, you can also take a guided tour and go underground yourself.

Today, the metal industry as well as electronics and optics are among the most important regional sectors. The job market in Kamp-Lintfort itself is rather limited. But in the nearby big cities such as Duisburg or Düsseldorf you will definitely find enough offers, whether for a future career or for an internship during your studies. In return, you will benefit from above-average low-living costs in Kamp-Lintfort and can thus finance your studies on a smaller budget.
