Hafen

Speditionstrasse, Dusseldorf, Germany
Tel: Not available
 

The old harbour was first built in the 16th century but not completed until the 19th century when it was regarded as one of the most modern inland ports in the country. In spite of this, Dusseldorf harbour has never achieved the importance that other inland ports have. At the end of the 1970s some of the harbour was filled in and the provincial parliament built. The harbour area has now become a small media town and production studios for film, TV and radio companies and the European Media Institute being located here. The new city gate and housing complex by American architect Frank O. Gehry are real eye-catchers. Many up market pubs and restaurants have also been established in the area, making the harbour a symbol of modern Dusseldorf.
