Facts and practical information

The ruins of the Kaiserswerth Imperial Palace are located in the Kaiserswerth district of Düsseldorf. The palace dates back to a monastery foundation by the monk Suitbert around 700. At that time, the Franconian house emperor Pippin the Middle and his wife Plektrudis gave the Anglo-Saxon monk an artificial island on the Rhine, which had already been built by circling the old Rhine arm and on which there was already a Franconian Fronhof - protected by an earth wall, ditch and palisades. In the following time, this developed into a fortified customs fortress. On December 23, 1982, the complex was entered in the city's list of monuments in the category of castles, manors, fortifications, palaces.

The name Kaiserswerth is derived from the Middle High German word werth for island. It therefore means emperor's island or island of the emperor.
