Kaiserswerth, Historic district along Rhine River in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The northern district features medieval ruins, preserved baroque buildings, and a Romanesque basilica along cobblestone streets next to the Rhine River.
Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa established a customs collection point in 1174, transforming this settlement into a critical trading hub along the Rhine River.
The St. Suitbertus Basilica contains a gilded shrine with the remains of Saint Suitbert, who founded a Benedictine abbey here in 700.
Visitors can reach Kaiserswerth from central Düsseldorf by boat during summer months or year-round via regular train and bus connections.
Florence Nightingale worked at the local deaconess clinic, founded by Theodor Fliedner, which influenced modern nursing practices worldwide.
