Futuristic façades against an impressive Rhine panorama. Spectacular buildings and big names wherever you look. Old industrial culture blends with metropolitan modernity: Düsseldorf's Media Harbour is a must-see for anyone who enjoys marvelling at architecture, a world-class landmark: the sculptural Gehry buildings.
Breathe in the harbour air and immerse yourself in the history of Düsseldorf's Media Harbour! There is hardly any other place in Germany where outstanding architecture is as concentrated as here.
From Frank O. Gehry to David Chipperfield to Renzo Piano: the list of international star architects who have shaped the district on the Rhine is long – and it is constantly growing. This is because Düsseldorf's former trading port is still changing.
Until the 1980s, warehouses dominated the landscape. Today, it is home to architectural masterpieces of modernism and postmodernism. Over the past decades, a lively business district has emerged, with a variety of hotels and restaurants.
19th-century clinker brick buildings meet glass, aluminium and steel: heritage protection and innovation come together in spectacular combinations around the old harbour basin. Sustainable construction is also bearing remarkable fruit in the Media Harbour.
