(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
We will start on the Stadtbrückchen diving into the history of Düsseldorf to understand the connection. From there, our tour is beginning. We will also talk about architecture. Wilhelm Marx House (Wilhelm-Marx-Haus) is a historical high-rise building in the square. Wilhelm Marx House was finished in 1924 (beginning of the construction was in 1922) and was one of the first skyscrapers in Europe. It is 57 meters high and has 13 floors above ground level. The architect was Wilhelm Kreis. It was named after Wilhelm Marx, who was mayor of Düsseldorf in the early 20th century and started a programme for the modernisation of the city in that time. This Wilhelm Marx is not the same person as the German Chancellor Wilhelm Marx. The building was renovated in the 1990s.
Konigsallee
The Königsallee is an urban boulevard in Düsseldorf. The Königsallee is noted for both the landscaped canal that runs along its center, as well as for the fashion showrooms and luxury retail stores located along its sides. Nicknamed Kö by locals, the Königsallee is one of Germany's busiest upscale shopping streets. It is one of Düsseldorf's flagships and the city's shopping mile: Königsallee. Affectionately known as "Kö", the street is home to numerous luxurious and well-known brands. But Königsallee is not just a shopping paradise. It is a sight to behold due to its architectural features alone. The restored houses, fountains, bridges and decorated railings give the mile its characteristic appearance. Various elements were developed especially for the Kö: lanterns, bollards, clocks, telephone booths and kiosks are literally tailor-made. Königsallee has been a listed building since 1994.
Schadowstrasse
Schadowstraße is a shopping street in Düsseldorf, Germany, located in the districts of Stadtmitte and Pempelfort. The street cuts through downtown Düsseldorf, starting at Königsallee, passing the Tausendfüßler and reaching up to Berliner Allee. Schadowstraße is named after the German Romantic painter Wilhelm von Schadow. The Western section towards Königsallee is a pedestrian zone and has some landmark buildings, such as the Schadow Arkaden, a shopping mall designed by German architect Walter Brune in 1994, and the Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store, designed by American architect Richard Meier in 2001.
