Futuristic exteriors meet stunning panoramic views of the Rhine. Spectacular buildings and famous names wherever you look, as industrial heritage merges with contemporary urban design. Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen is a must-see for all fans of awe-inspiring architecture, including the sculptural Gehry buildings – a world-class attraction.
Explore the history of Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen, which still retains traces of its former life as a port. Few other places in Germany can boast so much prestigious architecture within such a relatively small area. From Frank Gehry to David Chipperfield and Renzo Piano, a long list of leading international architects have left their mark on this quarter by the banks of the Rhine. And the list keeps growing, as Düsseldorf’s former trading port continues to evolve.
Until the 1980s, the scene was mainly dominated by warehouses, but today modern and post-modern architectural masterpieces reign supreme. The last few decades have seen the creation of a vibrant business quarter with numerous hotels and restaurants.
19th century brick buildings meet glass, aluminium and steel, as heritage preservation combines with innovation to spectacular effect all around the former docks. Sustainable construction is also bearing distinctive fruits in the MedienHafen.
