Mündung Südliche Düssel: Where the Düssel Meets the Rhine
Discover the unassuming charm of the Mündung Südliche Düssel where the river that gave Düsseldorf its name meets the Rhine, amidst the vibrant Rathausufer promenade.
The Mündung Südliche Düssel, or Southern Düssel Mouth, marks the point where the Southern branch of the Düssel River flows into the Rhine in Düsseldorf's Altstadt (Old Town). While not a dramatic natural spectacle, it represents a key geographical feature of the city, as the Düssel is the namesake of Düsseldorf itself. The area around the mouth is part of the vibrant Rathausufer promenade, offering scenic views of the Rhine, the historic architecture of the Altstadt, and a bustling atmosphere with cafes and shops. It's a pleasant spot for a stroll, offering a glimpse into the city's history and a connection to its natural surroundings. The Rheinuferpromenade, of which the Mündung Südliche Düssel is a part, was created by constructing a tunnel in 1993 and moving motorized traffic underground, so that the riverside became a pedestrian area. Most gangways for boat trips on the Rhine are situated near the Burgplatz.
