Dusseldorf

-Altstadt (Old Town)

The famous Altstadt is a
wondrous square kilometre that has
more to offer than any other district in
Dsseldorf.
This is where the waiters
("Kbesse") are diamonds in the
rough, where the next beer comes
without it being ordered and where
pork knuckles are a staple of people's
diet as well as where tales are told
and tranquillity goes hand in hand with
the city's hustle and bustle. More than
260 pubs line the "longest bar in the
world": local breweries, lounges,
cocktail bars, electro-clubs and
sophisticated ambiences this is the
place to find the venue to suit your
personal taste.
But it's not only body and soul
that will feel great in Dsseldorf's Altstadt: the district will also provide intellectual
stimulation because this is where most of the state capital's art and cultural venues
are to be found. The major Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, the
innovative NRW-Forum, the venerable Museum Kunstpalast and the Filmmuseum,
which has even been praised by Hollywood greats, are just a few of the many
museums that leave an impression on visitors. Dsseldorf also has many important
performance venues: theDeutsche Oper am Rhein (Opera House), theDsseldorfer
Schauspielhaus (Theatre) and the Tonhalle(Concert Hall) all bear witness to
Dsseldorf's reputation as an
international centre for the arts and
culture.
Dsseldorf's centre is also home to some
of the city's most beautiful churches. For
instance, the Sankt Lambertus Basilika,
which was first built in the 13th century,
and which with its twisting spire helps
make Dsseldorf's skyline unique. In
conjunction with the Schlossturm (Castle
Tower) and the River Dssel, the basilica remains part of the Old Town's original
core. This church's parish altar also houses a shrine containing relics of Saint
Apollinaris, the city's patron saint. The Bergerkirche, which dates from the 17th
century, the J ohanneskirche and the former Kreuzherren Kirche (Church of the
Knights of the Cross) are also always worth a visit!

-Arhitectura - Frank Gehry Builings New Zolhof
Address:
Stromstrae 26 (harbour)
Architect: Frank O. Gehry
Interesting.facts:
The Rheinhafen centre of arts
and the media by Frank O.
Gehry (USA) consists of three
contrasting building complexes
and appears like a gigantic
sculpture. The different
materials chosen give each
complex its own identity. The
outer material of the central
building reflects the buildings
on its northern and southern
side, thus creating a link
between the three.

The Gehry buildings are considered Dsseldorfs new landmark.



-Historial Kaiserswerth
Kaiserswerth, located in the northern part of Dsseldorf, is always worth a trip
at any time of the year. The pretty heart with its charming baroque houses from the
17th and 18th centuries is always a great place for an excursion.
Ruins of Friedrich Barbarossa's Kaiserpfalz

The picturesque ruins of the "Kaiserpfalz", the legendary Emperor Friedrich
Barbarossa's "Royal Palace", are located immediately on the banks of the River
Rhine. Originally dating from the 10th century, the palace was built under the rule of
Emperor Heinrich III and enlarged between 1174 1184 by Emperor Barbarossa,
when he transferred the toll from the Netherlands to Kaiserswerth and needed a
fortress to control the Rhine.
To this day the castle possesses impressive walls that are up to 4.5 metres
thick. The complex is accessible in summer daily from 09:00-18:00, while the idyllic
Burgweg with its unique Linden avenue affords a magnificent view of the palace
throughout the year.
A few steps from the site, cozy cafs
and beer gardens tempt visitors to stay a
while to enjoy the delights on offer.
Additionally, St. Suitbertus Bascilica on
Stiftsplatz, a triple-naved Romanesque pillar
basilica with gilded shrine holding the relics
of Saint Suitbertus, is also worth a visit.
