Düsseldorf Hafen, Urban district and harbor in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Düsseldorf Harbor is a district along the Rhine with modern office buildings, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The riverside is shaped by residential and commercial structures, with the eastern area functioning as a media center and the western section serving as a commercial port.
The area was long an active port and industrial site until major factories closed in the latter half of the 20th century. This led to redevelopment plans that transformed the waterfront into a modern cultural and business district.
The district draws visitors with art galleries and exhibition spaces that shape its character today. The curved Media Harbor buildings stand out as gathering places for design and media professionals who have made this area their home.
Several tram and bus lines connect the district to downtown, with stops positioned near main attractions. The paths along the Rhine are well-developed and pleasant for walking, especially on warmer days.
The district blends two entirely different uses: a working cargo port in the west with active shipping operations, and art spaces with design companies in the east. This coexistence of industry and culture gives the place its character.
