The town with its great leisure and recreational value has become an attractive residential area for many people from the Ruhr district. A population of almost 73,000 confirms Dinslaken's excellent quality of living, surrounded by the Rheinauen nature reserve and the Hohe Mark nature park, among others. In addition, the town offers a wide range of cultural activities. Especially the annual Fantastival at the open-air theatre at the old castle deserves a mention - one week of pure theatre delight, frequently featuring renowned international stars.
