Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf

At the Schwentine estuary

Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf lies on the east bank where the Schwentine flows into the fjord, joining river and harbour idyll. The Schwentine riverside with its quiet paths invites walks, and a pedal-boat hire makes excursions on the water possible. The estuary landscape, with its alternation of nature, water and industrial history, gives the district its special appeal. Here the openness of the fjord and the sheltered atmosphere of the river course meet. Anyone seeking calm and nature in Kiel finds a rewarding destination at the Schwentine estuary, away from the busy centre — ideal for relaxed hours by the water.

University and Mediendom

Kiel University of Applied Sciences gives Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf a young, academic character. On the east-bank campus thousands of people study and research, which enlivens and shapes the quarter. A special landmark is the Mediendom, a modern planetarium and dome cinema that brings science and culture to life with impressive projections and draws visitors from across the region. Alongside the Mediendom, further attractions such as the historic sea-fish market grounds beckon. This mix of education, research and cultural offerings makes the district a lively place where student life and maritime tradition meet.

Between harbour and nature

Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf lies on the east bank and is well connected to the rest of Kiel. Bus lines run into the centre, and arriving by fjord ferry is especially charming, its line linking the east bank with the city centre and further landings. From the water a lovely view opens onto the fjord and the shipyards. The historic sea-fish market on the shore recalls the quarter's fishing tradition. By bike the route along the Schwentine and the fjord makes for an appealing exploration. So the district combines good connections with the closeness of water and nature.
