Ehrenhof

If you want to learn the unknown stories behind the city's well-known facades, you now have the opportunity: The architecture walk takes you through Königsallee, through the old town and ends in the courtyard. At a time when international star architects and pop stars are celebrated, the new tour provides valuable information. Building planners such as Wilhelm Kreis, Daniel Libeskind, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Bernhard Pfau or Helmut Hentrich, who left their mark in Düsseldorf, are given special mention. This is based on the certainty that our future is closely linked to its planning art. In Düsseldorf it is possible to look at outstanding examples of expressionism from the 1920s but also brutalism in a few square kilometers. On the Königsallee, the architecture walk deals with the spectacular Kö-Bogen by the New York star architect Daniel Libeskind, in the immediate vicinity of the Dreischeibenhaus and the Schauspielhaus.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
