Story of the city
Movement is a theme of one of Düsseldorf’s oldest stories. The modern-day city on the Rhine obtained its town charter in 1288. Children performed cartwheels in celebration, and cartwheels remain a tradition to this day – in the form of an annual cartwheeling competition, a flea market named after the cartwheel and over 100 cartwheel sculptures. So, Düsseldorf has a tradition of movement. And the city is indeed on the move, becoming increasingly global as a top destination and a base for many international companies, with people from around 180 different countries. It offers an ever-increasing quality of life, with an attractive array of cultural and leisure. And it is moving into the future with an innovative and sustainable urban concept.
