Welcome to Düsseldorf!

Düsseldorf!! Named so because it is a Dorf (town) located on the Düssel river, is also the largest dorf in Germany. Düsseldorf is the seat for the Government of Northrheinwestfalia and is also considered the richest city in Germany. The Altstadt (old city) of Düsseldorf is located along the Rhein river where many people spend their summer evenings and weekends. The Altstadt is set up as a pedestrian area and has over 260 various international restaurants and pubs. Besides the restaurants and pubs, Altstadt hosts many outdoor fairs such as wine, jazz, Christmas, modern music, and many others. During the summer, Altstadt also provides outdoor movies along the Rhein. Düsseldorf also hosts over 18 museums, many theaters, opera, chateaus, and many large and varied parks. Go to http://www.duesseldorf-altstadt.de/ to see some excellent views of the Altstadt.

When it comes to shopping, Düsseldorf is the place to be. Affectionately referred to as the ‘Kö’ , Düsseldorf’s Königsallee with its elegant shopping arcades is one of the world’s most beautiful boulevards: the catwalk of the latest fashion trends ... one kilometer of seeing and being seen ... sauntering in front of an interested public on the terraces under the chestnut trees.

In the south of Düsseldorf there is a very special sight: Benrath Chateau, built over 200 years ago as a summer residence and hunting lodge for the Elector Karl Theodor. The unique ensemble of castle and park is one of the most significant of its type. Go to http://www.stiftung-schloss-und-park-benrath.de/ to see some wonderful views of the Chateau.

  Our first home after arriving in Dusseldorf, a hotel room for a month next to the AMS building.  Where we spent most of our time. Work!! This is the AMS building in Dusseldorf.   It was always easy to keep track of the tram arriving from Eddie's window at work. Being at the end of the line was nice. It was usually there long enough to run and catch it.   And just who is the guy with the long hair?!? Ya, that's right! Eddie, and it got longer!   The U77, our tram to the town center and to connections to home.
  This is our house in Dusseldorf. It was called a row house because there are three units in the building. Our unit was on the right and our front door entered off of the driveway   Here's the back of the house. Much more inviting looking than the front, but that was typical for Germany. Our landlord, who lived in the middle unit, took incredible care of the gardens.   Another view of the gardens and the grill.   Our kitchen.   Sheena hard at work in the dinning room on the 2nd floor.
  Eddie on the first day in Dusseldorf trying to figure out the trams.   On the tram and heading into the town center.   The tram interior.   Sheena at the market with our trusty shopping cart. That cart saw a lot of miles.   Sheena at the market enjoying a good German Bratwurst. Some one needs to introduce them to the foot long hotdog bun!
  The markets in the town center.         Asparagus season at the markets.
  Flying kytes along the Rhine.   Eddie enjoying a sunde at one of the favorite cafes along the Rhine.   A glockenspiel in the Altstadt.   One of the only sky scrapers in Dusseldorf.   Eddie along the banks of the Rhine with Altstadt in the background.
  Modern apartments along the harbor.   The Dusseldorf tower   Looking down the Rhine from Altstadt to the Tower   A view of the arts complex along the Rhine from the tower observation floor.   Sheena on the first day in town and the first stop was buying an umbrella. Second stop was to have a beer at McDonalds across the street.
  Walking along the promafade of the Ko. A view of the Düssel river running along the Ko     The downtown wildlife on the backs of the Dussel and the Ko.   One of the fountains on the Dussel along the Ko.   Shops and the mall entrance at the end of the Ko.
  The banks of the Rhine.   Along the banks of the Rhine with sheep grazzing and keeping the lawn trimmed.   Benrath chateaux   The grounds of Benrath Chateaux   The grounds of Benrath Chateaux
  The Christmas markets.   Sheena enjoying the Christmas markets.       A few of the ladies tending to a few of the many treats to be found in the Christmas markets.
