Heerdt Depot is a maintenance and storage facility for trams in Düsseldorf with high ceilings, large gates, and work areas for multiple vehicles at once. The buildings display the industrial architecture of that era with sturdy structures and straightforward design.

The facility was built in the early 1900s as part of the city's expanding tram network. It shows how Düsseldorf modernized its infrastructure and developed as an industrial city.

The facility serves as a landmark where locals and visitors can observe how the city organized its public transport system in the past. Walking around it today gives a sense of how important trams were to daily life in Düsseldorf.

The site is located in northern Düsseldorf and can be viewed from outside, with certain areas open to visitors. It is best to visit during daytime when light shows the building details more clearly.

The site still preserves many original features from its founding era, including machine rooms and old workshops. These original elements make it a valuable record of the craftmanship and technical skills of the early 1900s.
