Zentrales Dienstgebäude des LZPD NRW, Police administration building in Duisburg, Germany.
The Zentrales Dienstgebäude des LZPD NRW is the main administrative center for North Rhine-Westphalia's police force located in Duisburg. The building contains offices, control centers, and maintenance workshops that handle the technical and operational needs of police stations across the state.
The building was established to consolidate the various police administrative functions of North Rhine-Westphalia in a single location. This centralization improved coordination and efficiency across the entire regional police force.
The building's name refers to the Landesamt für Zentrale Polizeiliche Dienste, the state office for central police services of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the central courtyard stands Bogomir Ecker's yellow sculpture "aliud" (the other), a detail visible from the surrounding inner harbour paths.
The building is visible from the street but is not open to public visits. It can be viewed and photographed from outside and is located in an easily accessible area of Duisburg.
The south facade's solar wall panels, essentially cardboard honeycombs, showed moisture damage before installation; after further problems with the seals between panels, the facade was completely replaced in 2008. The building's energy balance after the renovation is not known.
