Ratingen-Homberg is that part of the city of Ratingen, in Mettman district, North Rhine-Westphalia that, until the bringing of industrialisation to the city, was the independent village of Homberg - at that time being in the district Homberg-Meiersberg, with its scenic churches, one Protestant and one Catholic.

The older, Catholic church is devoted to Saint James. Both church towers together form the characteristic silhouette of Homberg ("Wiesnasen") in the surrounding meadows in the Bergisches Land.

Homberg consists of an older (northern) part with about 1000 inhabitants, three taverns and two churches and a new residential area for about 5000 residents and one restaurant.

The first documented reference to Homberg goes back to the year 1067.

In the twelfth century the Catholic Church devoted to James of Zebedee was built.

By middle of the 14th century Homberg was part of the district "Rheinamt Angermund" and had its own jurisdiction.

1684 the first Protestant church in Homberg was built, north of the village in "im Grund".

In 1685 - opposite to the Protestant church - a Protestant school was built.
