Maybe, you already know the town Langenfeld, but here are some details about our town – where we live and where our school is.
Langenfeld is a town which belongs to the county of Mettmann. It is divided in five parts named Richrath, Immigrath, Reusrath, Berghausen and Wiescheid.

All in alll, there are 59.000 inhabitants.
We have lots of options to go shopping! There is the “Stadtgalerie” where there are lots of shops. For example: a bakery, Madonna, C&A, the post office, a drugstore, a bookshop, etc. Since November 2009, we have a new shopping center, called “Marktkarree”. It is very big and has lots of new shops like New Yorker, a boot shop, a big multiple drugstore.
In Langenfeld you can do a lot of sports, for example: go swimming, play golf, go horseriding. In Langenfeld – Berghausen there are popular water ski facilities, in the summer there are many visitors. In the center of Langenfeld you find big sports fields where the sport clubs like football clubs, an American football club (Longhorns), basketball clubs etc. have their training. We also have a gliding airfield.
In Langenfeld there are six secondary schools, our school “Bettine von Arnim Gesamtschule” is in Langenfeld-Richrath and the only comprehensive school here. Also we have a big supermarket, two bakeries, two schools to learn driving, a hair salon, a little post office, etc.
So you can say: We like to live inLangenfeld-Richrath because it is small but we have all things we need and we are very happy
