Unterrath

Unterrath is a residential district in northern Düsseldorf that spans several square kilometers and features a mix of family homes, gardens, and local shops. The area has a calm, orderly feel with wide streets and a typical suburban character.

The area was incorporated into Düsseldorf in 1909 along with Rath and Lichtenbroich following a local petition. This merger established the modern boundaries and administration that shape the district today.

The establishment of Kartause Maria Hain in 1869 marked the introduction of the first Carthusian monastery in Germany after the religious reforms.

The district is served by S-Bahn lines that connect to central Düsseldorf, and tram routes provide local transit options. Most destinations within and around the area are easily accessible by foot or public transport.

The district is home to manufacturing facilities of a major car producer, giving it economic importance. The proximity to the airport also shapes how the area develops and how residents work and live.
