Düsseldorf (German pronunciation: [ˈdʏsəldɔɐf])
is the capital city of the German state of
North Rhine-Westphalia. It is an economic
centre of Germany. The city is situated on the
River Rhine, and is renowned for its many
events and also for its fashion and trade fairs.
Every July more than 4.5 million people visit
the Größte Kirmes am Rhein funfair/carnival
in Düsseldorf.
History
When the Roman Empire was strengthening
its position throughout Europe, a few Ger-
manic tribes clung ir marshy territory off the
eastern banks of the Rhine River.
In the 7th and 8th centuries, the odd farm-
ing or fishing settlement could be found at
the point where the small river Düssel flows
into the Rhine. It was from such settlements
that the city of Düsseldorf grew.
The first written mention of the town of
Düsseldorf dates back to 1135 (then called
Dusseldorp). It was told that under Emperor
Friedrich Barbarossa the small
town of
Kaiserswerth, lying to the North of Düssel-
dorf, became a well fortified outpost, where
soldiers kept their watchful eyes over every
movement on the Rhine. Kaiserswerth even-
tually became a suburb of Düsseldorf in
1929.
In 1186 Düsseldorf came under the rule of
Berg. The counts of Berg moved their seat to
the town in 1280. 14 August 1288 is one of
the most important dates in the history of

Düsseldorf in 1647
Düsseldorf as it was on this day that the sov-
ereign Count Adolf V of Berg granted the vil-
lage on the banks of the Düssel the Town
privileges.
Prior to that announcement, a bloody
struggle for power had taken place between
the Archbishop of Cologne and the count of
Berg, culminating in the Battle of Worringen.
The Archbishop of Cologne’s forces were
wiped out by the forces of the count of Berg
who were supported by citizens and farmers
of Cologne and Düsseldorf, paving the way
for Düsseldorf’s elevation to city status,
which is remembered today with a monument
on the Burgplatz. In fact, the custom of turn-
ing cartwheels is credited to the children of
Düsseldorf, upon hearing that their city was
victorious, they did "flips" in celebration
After this battle the relationship of the two
cities deteriorated, because they were com-
mercial rivals. It is often said that there is a
kind of hostility between the citizens of Co-
logne and Düsseldorf. Today, it finds its ex-
pression mainly in a humorous form (espe-
cially during the Rhineland Karneval) and in
sports.
A market square sprang up on the banks
of the Rhine and the square was protected by
city walls in all four directions. In 1380, Düs-
seldorf was made regional capital of the
Duchy of Berg. During the following centur-
ies several famous landmarks were built, in-
cluding the Collegiate Church of St. Lam-
bertus. In 1609, the ducal line of Jülich-Ber-
g-Cleves died out, and after a virulent
struggle over succession, Jülich and Berg fell
to the Wittelsbach Counts of Palatinate-
Neuburg, who made Düsseldorf their main
domicile, even after they inherited the Palat-
inate, in 1685, becoming now Prince-electors
as Electors Palatine.
The historic townhall of Düsseldorf in the
Altstadt.
Düsseldorf’s growth was even more im-
pressive under the leadership of Johann Wil-
helm II (r. 1690-1716) in the 18th century,
also known to his people as Jan Wellem.
Greatly influenced by his wife Anna Maria
Luisa de’ Medici, the art lover designed a
vast art gallery with a huge selection of
paintings and sculptures that were housed in
the Stadtschloss (city castle).
After the death of childless Jan Wellem,
the flourishing royal capital fell back to hard
times, especially after Elector Karl Theodor
inherited Bavaria and moved the electoral
court to Munich. With him he took the art
collection, which became part of what is now
the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. Destruction
and poverty struck Düsseldorf after the Na-
poleonic Wars. Napoleon made Berg a Grand
Duchy and Düsseldorf its capital. J. C. C.
Devaranne, a leader of Solingen’s resistance
to Napoleon’s conscription decrees, was ex-
ecuted here in 1813. After the defeat of Na-
poleon, the whole Rhineland including Berg
was given to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815.

tablished in Düsseldorf later.
Düsseldorf in 1900
By the mid-19th century, Düsseldorf en-
joyed a revival thanks to the Industrial Re-
volution as the city boasted 100,000 inhabit-
ants by 1882; the figure doubled in 1892. It
was a target of strategic bombing during
World War II, particularly during the RAF
bombing campaign against the Ruhr industry
in 1943 when over 700 bombers would be
used in a single night. Raids continued late
into the war. As part of the campaign against
German oil facilities, the RAF raid of Febru-
ary 20/21 1945 on the Rhenania Ossag re-
finery in the Reisholz district of Düsseldorf
halted oil production there. The bombings
virtually reduced the city to a pile of rubble.
Climatic year of Düsseldorf.
In 1946 Düsseldorf was made capital of
the new federal state of North Rhine-West-
phalia. The city’s reconstruction proceeded
at a frantic pace and the economic transform-
ation saw Düsseldorf growing
into
the
wealthy city of trade, administration and ser-
vice industries as it is known today.
Geography
The districts of Düsseldorf
Physical geography
Düsseldorf lies in the middle of the lower
Rhine basin on the delta of the Düssel River
where it flows into the Rhine. The city is on
the east side of the Rhine, except for District
4 (Oberkassel, Niederkassel, Heerdt and
Lörick). Across the Rhine Neuss was built on
the delta of the Erft river. Düsseldorf lies
southwest of the Ruhr mining district, and in
the middle of the Rhine-Ruhr urbanized re-
gion. Düsseldorf is built entirely on alluvium,
muds, sands, clays and occasionally gravels.
The highest point in Düsseldorf is the top of
Sandberg in the far eastern part of the city
(Hubbelrath borough) at 165 metres (541 ft).
The lowest point is at the far northern end in
Wittlaer borough where the Schwarzbach
(Black Creek) enters the Rhine, with an aver-
age elevation of 28 metres (92 ft). Like the
rest of the lower Rhinelands Düsseldorf has
mild winters and moderately warm summers,
with an average yearly
temperature of

10.5 °C (51 °F) and 77 centimetres (30 in) of
rainfall. The predominate wind direction is
out of the south or southeast with velocities
in the range of 3 to 4 m/s (7-9 mph), with
gusts of 3.5 -4.8 m/s (8-10.7 mph). The wind
is calm (under 2 m/s or 4.5 mph) about 35%
of the time, more frequently at night and in
the winter.[2][3]
Districts
Düsseldorf is currently (2007) divided into
ten administrative districts. Each district
(Bezirk) has its own elected district council
(Bezirksvertretung) and its own district may-
or (Bezirksvorsteher). The district councils
are advisory only. Each district is further
subdivided into boroughs. There are 49 bor-
oughs in Düsseldorf.[4]

There are 18 internet providers located in
the capital of North-Rhine Westphalia. With
two of the four big German providers of mo-
bile frequencies, D2 Vodafone and E-Plus,
Düsseldorf leads the German mobile phone
market. There are also many foreign trading
centres in Düsseldorf such as NTT, Ericsson,
Sandvik, Nokia and GTS.
Many of the internet companies in Düssel-
dorf have their roots in the world of advert-
ising: there are 400 advertising agencies in
Düsseldorf, among them three of the largest
in Germany: BBDO Group, Publicis Group
and Grey Group. A number of affiliates of for-
eign agencies deserve mention as well, such
as Ogilvy & Mather, Dentsu, Hakuhodu, Di-
gital District and DDB.
In Düsseldorf there are about 170 national
and international financial institutions and
about 130 insurance agencies and one of the
biggest German stock exchanges. There are
also
about

Many Japanese banks and corporations have
their European headquarters in Düsseldorf -
so many that Düsseldorf has the third largest
Japanese community in Europe, after London
and Paris.[5][6]
The "Kö", which stands for Königsallee
("King’s Avenue"), is a popular shopping des-
tination. Some of the most reputed jewellery
shops, designer labels, and galleries have
their stores here. The Kö has about the
highest rents for shops and bureaus in Ger-
many.[7]

Düsseldorf International Airport, also re-
ferred to as Rhein-Ruhr Airport, is located
eight kilometres (5 mi) from the city centre
and can easily be reached by train or the S-
Bahn urban railway. There is a long-distance
train station served by regional and national
services, which is linked to the airport by the
SkyTrain, an automatic peoplemover. The
(old) local station situated under the terminal
building carries the S-Bahn line (S7) to the
city’s central station and to Solingen as well
as a few selected night services.
After Frankfurt and Munich, Düsseldorf
International Airport
is Germany’s
third
largest commercial airport, with 18.6 million
passengers annually. The airport offers 180
destinations on 4 continents, and is served by
70 airlines. The airport buildings were partly
destroyed by a devastating fire caused by
welding works in 1996, killing 17 people. It
was completely rebuilt and the Skytrain
installed.
The city is a major hub in the Deutsche
Bahn (DB) railway network. More than 1,000
trains stop in Düsseldorf every day. The cent-
ral railway station at Konrad-Adenauer-Platz
is located in Düsseldorf’s city centre. Several
S-Bahn lines connect Düsseldorf to the other
cities of Rhine-Ruhr. Local light rail Stadt-
bahn traffic as well as bus traffic is carried
out by the city-owned Rheinbahn which oper-
ates within the VRR public transport system.
The light rail system also serves neighbour-
ing
cities
and
is
partially
operated
underground.
The Central Station (Düsseldorf Haupt-
bahnhof) and the Airport Station (Flughafen-
Bahnhof) are connected to the national and
European high speed (Intercity / Eurocity, IC
/
EC)
and
extreme
high
speed
InterCityExpress.
North Rhine-Westphalia has a closely-
woven autobahn network with many routes
leading directly to Düsseldorf. The city is
connected to the A3, A44, A46, A52, A57, A59
and A524 motorways.
Facts and figures
Demographics
• 17% of Düsseldorf’s population are
foreigners, which is a total of 98,686
people. The largest minority ethnic groups
are Turkish, Greek, and Italian.[8]
• Düsseldorf has the third largest Jewish
community in Germany, with about 7,400
members, which is more than 1% of the
city’s population.
• Düsseldorf and its surroundings has the
third largest Japanese community in

11,000).[6][5]
Living in Düsseldorf
The 2007 Mercer HR Consulting survey of
cities with the highest quality of life ranked
Düsseldorf fifth worldwide and first in Ger-
many.[9] This comes at a price; in the same
study the cost of living was measured, mak-
ing Düsseldorf the third most expensive city
in Germany after Munich and Frankfurt but
equal to Berlin (45th worldwide).[10]
Culture and recreation
Art-loving Elector Jan Wellem and his wife
Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici of Tuscany,
were the patrons of Düsseldorf’s first signific-
ant cultural activities in the 17th and 18th
centuries. Heinrich Heine, whose 200th
birthday was celebrated in 1997, Clara and
Robert Schumann as well as Felix Mendels-
sohn are the most prominent artists related
to the city. Artistic impulses were often born
in the Academy of Fine Arts and the names of
Paul Klee, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter as
well as Albert Bierstadt are associated with
the institution (Düsseldorf School). The Düs-
seldorf cultural scene comprises traditional
and avant-garde, classical and glamorous.
The world famous state art collection of
North Rhine-Westphalia,
the highly ac-
claimed Deutsche Oper am Rhein (opera),
and
the
Düsseldorfer
Schauspielhaus
(theatre), artistic home of Gustaf Gründgens,
are major elements of Düsseldorf’s reputa-
tion as a centre of the fine arts.
Music and nightlife
Since the 1950s the "Kom(m)ödchen" has
been one of the most prominent political cab-
arets of Germany. Düsseldorf’s most famous
contribution to the culture of modern popular
music is beyond doubt the avant-garde elec-
tronic music band Kraftwerk. Formed by a
few Düsseldorf-born musicians, Kraftwerk
have often been regarded as the most signi-
ficant band in the history of post-war German
music and as pioneers in electronic music.

Carnival
One of the biggest cultural events in Düssel-
dorf is the Düsseldorfer Karneval (also re-
ferred to as the "fifth season") which starts
every year on 11 November at 11:11 a.m.,
and reaches its climax on Rosenmontag (Rose
