Dusseldorf Germany |
The Altstadt', or old town, located between the Rhine and Heinrich-Heine-Allee, is the heart of Dsseldorf. This pedestrian zone is said to be the 'longest bar in the world' and most of the city's out- and indoor-events take place here, i.e. the Dsseldorfer Altstadt-Herbst, an end-of-summer festival. The Altstadt attracts both tourists and locals thanks to its beautiful location on the banks of the Rhine. Pubs, haute cuisine, snack bars and shops are all packed into this part of the city. It's worth exploring around the Stadtmuseum up to the Bilker- and Hohe Straße, where 18th-century patrician houses, exquisite antique shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs line beautiful cobbled streets.

Bilk is the students' part of town. This is mainly due to its location directly between the town and the university campus, as well as the public transportation hub at Bilk S-Bahnhof. There are many little shops in this area, including a few second-hand bookshops. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Karlstadt (Karl City) officially changed its name to Carlstadt (Carl City) on December 15, 2005 following the trend of many other cities since the fall of the Wall of Berlin due to the other name's affiliation with the Communist party (Karl Marx). This is the smallest borough of Dusseldorf filled with small local shops and antiques. This is the hometown of Clara and Robert Schumman (both famous composers in the 1800s). Nowadays, Carlstadt is the home of new technological industries, the most famous of which is Vodafone, the British-owned telecommunications company. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located between Carlstadt and Alstadt, this is the centre of Dusseldorf, and part of the first district. It is more famous for its shopping than any other district, and commerce is centered along the Königsallee (King's Avenue) and the Schadowstraße, which are both very popular with tourists and local inhabitants alike. Just recently, the King's Avenue celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2004. Another of this borough's claims to fame is the Schadowstrassenfest which is a three-day market bazaar where there is constant music; more shops enter throughout the revelry to ensure that new and different things are available at each visit throughout the festival.

Located to the center of Dusseldorf, and on the border of the Rhine, this borough literally translates to "whose village". This is one of the most changing boroughs; whereas it used to be defined by the industries located there (specifically the Rheinmetall or "Rhine metal"), it is now becoming a place of more residential tones with many construction projects leading to many future offices and rooms on the way. The population of this borough has a heavy Turkish influence despite the higher-than-standard rents for the amenities provided. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Once a blue-collared borough of Düsseldorf, Flingern is located northeast of the city center. Today, it is divided into two boroughs: Flingern-Nord and Flingern-Süd. Flingern-Nord is home to a younger crowd and middle-class families, while Flingern-Süd hosts a more working class crowd. The Elector Palantine, Jan Wellem, brought about the completion of the Flinger Steinweg, a paved road leading from Düsseldorf through Flingern to Gerresheim. In the midst of the Industrial Revolution, Flingern became a working-class town and lost nearly all the vestiges of its old baths, which, today, have been converted into wellness centers.

Named for the Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm IV, this is the youngest borough of Dusseldorf with roots only in the 19th century. This borough lies between the city centre and the third district. It is one of the most beautiful areas in which to live, and it houses city officials and officers who appreciate its easy access to the city centre, but more peaceful surroundings. Also, the initiative to make the city more appealing by inserting more greenery in the form of green belts and swan ponds which mirror those of emperors past. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The location of the oldest settlements of the city, it is also became the best spot for the large industry, trade and art exhibition in 1902 as the art movement followed down the Rhine. At convenient distance from the Dusseldorf airport and the fairgrounds (which was moved from Golzheim to another location even closer to the airport). Rhine Park (which used to be a water basin emptied out around the turn of the twentieth century) is a popular attraction with its 24 hectares of green lawn and trees; it serves as a setting for sunbathing and meeting place for local inhabitants.

Follow the Rheinuferpromenade past the 234-metre-high Rheinturm telecom tower, and you'll find yourself at the harbour. This area has changed in appearance a few times over the last century. Many parts of the once active harbour were closed in 1976. Others were simply abandoned. The Landtag brought new prestige to this area in 1988. About ten years of construction have made the harbour the most modern and trendy area of the city. In the early 1990s a tunnel was built to keep the traffic out of the city centre. The regional broadcaster WDR finished its light-blue building in 1991. In 1998 the Stadttor, a glass-column gate to the city, opened its doors. The unusual buildings directly at the shore, one white, one red, one silvery, were finished last year. The architect is Frank O. Gehry, who also built the Guggenheim museum in Barcelona.

Part of the only district on the West side of the Rhine, Niederkassel is part of the fourth district of Dusseldorf. Mentioned in documents since the 9th century and officially named in 1909, this district has a long history. Fellow host (along with Oberkassel) to an artistic movement in 1902, when a large group moved down the Rhine in order to settle on the left of the Rhine, and then later a Japanese movement in the 1970s, Niederkassel has a very varied history. To this day, it hosts the Japanese school, the Edo house, as well as the only Buddhist temple in Europe and a Japanese tea house. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Watching the sun go down behind the beautiful facade of Oberkassel is a favourite pastime for many residents of and visitors to Dusseldorf. After sunset you can walk to the Oberkasseler Bridge, get into the tram, get out at the other side of the Rhine and walk along the banks - you may even come across a flock of sheep - or go window-shopping along the Luegallee. Oberkassel lives on the left side of the Rhine river, opposite of the central district of Düsseldorf. Don't forget to check out the St. Antonius Church, built between 1909 and 1910 in the neoromanic style, and the Resurrection Church (Auferstehungskirche), built between 1913 and 1914.

Pempelfort is an upper-class residential area where the new and old combine to give the borough a culture of its own. There are many older inhabitants who maintain elements of traditional German culture, whilst great fluctuations of workers throughout Germany cause many people to constantly enter and leave the area. The Nordstraße (or North Street) is known for its shopping, with many different articles to suit all budgets. Although some construction prevents the use of certain facilities, this borough still presents tourists with a good time. Review © 2007, Wcities |
