Neersen

Machine-translated from the German article

Neersen is a village on the Middle Lower Rhine and a district of the town of Willich in the Viersen district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The village is most likely named after the Niers river, which was of great importance to Neersen at the time. The Niers was formerly also called Neers and flowed directly past the village until it was artificially straightened in 1930, fed a water mill and served as a water supply for the castle moat.
