Düsseltal

Düsseltal is a residential district in District 2 of Düsseldorf, characterized by apartment buildings, local shops, and green spaces. The area is defined by its quieter setting and proximity to schools, parks, and everyday services.

The area developed around a monastery founded in 1701 when Elector Jan Wellem donated land to Cistercian monks. Over time, residential buildings and infrastructure replaced the monastic structures, forming the neighborhood as it exists today.

The neighborhood takes its name from the Düssel stream that flows through the area and shapes daily life. Residents use the green spaces along the waterway for walks and outdoor activities.

The neighborhood is well connected by public transportation with direct routes to other parts of the city. You can easily find local shops, parks for walking, and pedestrian-friendly streets throughout the area.

A former orphanage from the 19th century once produced Eau de Cologne using local spring water to fund its operations. This unusual mix of charity work and commercial production left a mark on the neighborhood's economic development.
