EKO Japanese Culture Centre

Japanese culture centre

Brüggener Weg 6
Niederkassel
Dusseldorf, NRW 40547
Germany
+49 211 577 9180

This Japanese culture centre was built in the late eighties by the Japanese community. The majority of Japanese people who are residents of Düsseldorf, live in the Oberkassel/Niederkassel areas of the city to the left of the Rhine. There is even a Japanese school. On the grounds of the Japanese culture centre, there's a shin-Buddhist temple and pagoda, which are of course embedded in a typical Japanese garden with an artistic pond. The willing visitor to this place will be brought closer to Japanese culture by the numerous talks and events which take place here.

Theodor Heuss Bridge

Theodor- Heuss bridge Nähe der Kanzlei
Dusseldorf, NRW
Germany
The most northern of Dusseldorf's line of bridges was the first in the world of its kind built using diagonal cables. It was opened to the public in 1957. Back then it was simply called Nordbrücke (north bridge). It was named after the Federal President Theodor Heuss a while later. When conventions take place, which is on a fairly regular basis, or when big events are on at the Rheinstadion then it falls victim to chronic traffic jams. This is the busiest bridge in the city.
