It is situated on the right bank of the Rhine, approximately {{convert|10|km}} south-east of Wesel, and 20 km north of Duisburg. City structureAccording to art. 1(3) of the Main Charter of the town, the municipal area is divided into the 11 quarters of Götterswickerhamm, Löhnen, Mehrum, Möllen, Voerde, Stockum, Holthausen, Friedrichsfeld, Emmelsum, Spellen and Ork. These quarters are, however, not localities in the sense of art. 39 of the North-Rhine Westphalian Municipal Code (GO NW). HistoryVoerde owes its name to a ford crossing of a branch of the River Rhine, which existed there during Roman and Frankish times (the old spelling for Furt was Fuerdt). In 1244, the town was mentioned in records for the first time as a fiefdom and castle of the abbey of Werden. In 1804, during the time of the French occupation, Voerde was integrated into the Amt Götterswickerhamm, which was renamed to Voerde in 1911. During World War II, the 9th US-Army crossed the Rhine in the night of the 23rd to the 24th March 1945 in the area of Voerde and reached the right Rhine-bank for the first time (Operation Plunder). Since 1975 Voerde is part of the district of Wesel. Buildings and constructions
