Facts and practical information

The history of the construction and use of the city hall of the state capital Düsseldorf dates back to 1570/73 in the oldest parts of the building. Since that time, the Düsseldorf City Hall, located in the middle of the old town and in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine, has continuously been the seat of the city council and the municipal administration. Until 1806, the oldest parts of the building, the old town hall, also served as a meeting place for the estates of the duchies of Jülich-Berg. The main entrance and the representative view are located on the market square enclosed by the town hall.
