Mettmann
6.4
High score (8-10)
Mettmann is in the Düsseldorf commuter belt with S-Bahn access to the city, and the Neandertal museum at the actual discovery site of Neanderthal fossils is one of Germany's better natural history museums. Residents here have full access to Düsseldorf's social scene in 20-30 minutes.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Mettmann is best understood as Düsseldorf's southeastern residential extension — the Neander Valley is here but the social scene is entirely derivative of Düsseldorf. An outsider would meet people in Düsseldorf anyway and some might happen to live in Mettmann. There's not much reason to think of it as having an independent social identity.
Lower score (below 6)
Mettmann district doesn't generate its own social scene — it's residential overflow from Düsseldorf and Wuppertal without the social infrastructure of either. The Neandertal site is worth a day visit. For an outsider trying to build social footing, the district is a geographic inconvenience between better options on either side.
