About this audio guide
This guide to the Rheinwiesen in Oberkassel, Düsseldorf, is about the people who work this riverside meadow, from the sheep on the grass to the travelling showmen who arrive every July. It follows the fair that has filled this bank since nineteen oh one, the marksmen's club that runs it, and a showman from Mönchengladbach with a brand-new ride. Best heard on the grass facing the old town skyline across the water.
