History
Düsseldorf, the dynamic capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, rose to prominence in the 13th century as a fortified settlement along the Rhine. By the 18th century, it became the residence of the Elector Palatine, fostering a flourishing arts scene under patrons like Johann Wilhelm, whose legacy includes the city’s renowned Kunstakademie.
Post-World War II reconstruction transformed Düsseldorf into a modern economic powerhouse, blending historic Altstadt charm with sleek Medienhafen skyscrapers. Today, its fashion-forward Königsallee and vibrant Rhine promenade reflect a city that seamlessly marries tradition with contemporary flair.
