Along the Sülz, which flows through the city area, there are countless old knight's seats and castles. Schloss Eulenbroich is a former aristocratic seat where various events such as concerts, art exhibitions and literary readings are held again and again today. But the landmark of the city is the gate house of the castle. It also serves as a logo on letterheads, as it symbolizes the importance of the city of Rösrath as the "gateway to the Bergisches Land".

A regional culinary tradition in Rösrath is not the afternoon coffee, but the "coffee table", at which you are really served. The dishes served with the coffee table include black bread, grey bread, yeast, sweet spreads and savoury sausage and cheese to topping. Not to forget the Bergische waffles, which are served with cream and hot cherries.

Every year the carnival is one of the most important events of the city. The time around the carnival is therefore often referred to as the "fifth season". On Shrove Monday there is a big parade and a lot of foolish activity. A further custom in Rösrath is the Schürreskarrenrennen, in which a funny race is held with wooden one-wheeled wheelbarrows.
