Detailed itinerary

Designed by the architect Bernhard Pfau, the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus is celebrated for its modernist architectural style.

It was built between 1965 and 1969 and is considered an important example of post-war German architecture.

The Ratinger Tor dates back to the Middle Ages, specifically the late 13th century.

It was originally part of the city's fortifications and served as one of the gateways through which people entered and exited Düsseldorf.

Stop 3

The St. Lambertus Church dates back to the 13th century.

It stands as one of the oldest churches in Düsseldorf.

The Schlossturm is part of the former Düsseldorf Castle (Düsseldorfer Schloss), which was originally built in the 13th century as a fortress for the Counts of Berg.

Schneider Wibbel Gasse dates back to the medieval period and is one of the oldest streets in Düsseldorf's Altstadt.

The alley is named after Johann Peter Wibbel, who was portrayed as a witty and humorous tailor.

The Heine Haus is a historic building where the renowned German poet and writer Heinrich Heine (1797–1856) lived during his youth and early adulthood.

Heine is considered one of the most important German literary figures of the 19th century.

The Old Town Hall dates back to the 16th century, with parts of the building constructed in the Renaissance style.

It served as the seat of municipal government and administration for the city of Düsseldorf during much of its history.

The Pegeluhr was originally installed in 1955 as a functional clock that displays the water level of the River Rhine in Düsseldorf.

It provides real-time information about the river's water level, which is crucial for monitoring flood risks and navigation.
