 Modern city gate |
Ernst-Gnoß-Straße Unterbilk Dusseldorf, NRW 40219 Germany +49 211 6000 6000 |
Built in 1998, the Stadttor or City Gate is perhaps Dusseldorf's finest example of contemporary architecture. Towering 80m over the harbour and media district, the glass building houses numerous offices, media centres and lawyers' practices. The huge, round steel columns have been intentionally left visible, and the design has won several awards. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 State parliament |
Platz des Landtags 1 Unterbilk Dusseldorf, NRW 40221 Germany +49 211 8840 http://home.landtag.nrw.de |
The Landtag or State Parliament of North Rhine Westphalia is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1988, the yellow sandstone and reddish-brown color of the building stands out from the rest of the cityscape, as does its distinctive round shape, which is designed to symbolize democracy, transparency and politics for the people. Unfortunately there are no tours of the building and the 'Introduction to Local Politics' seminar has to be booked 6-9 months in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |
