Geography

edit

Strümp is located in the Center of Meerbusch surrounded by all other districts. Its entire municipal area is situated on a fluvial terrace of the Lower Rhine region and therefore very flat. The so-called Strümper Berg rises barely higher than the surrounding area.

The village of Strümp consists of the town center (at Xantener Straße), two settlements (Schürkesfeld and Rottfeld/Strümper Busch) and a few farms.
