Automeile Höherweg, Architectural and retail complex in Düsseldorf, Germany

Automeile Höherweg is a planned cluster of car dealerships in Düsseldorf's Flingern-Süd district, built in 2003 and 2004 on a site up to 600 m long and 250 m wide. Its central axis is a green, traffic-calmed pedestrian promenade lined with showrooms, with workshops and storage set inside the buildings so display windows face up to four sides. A ring road circles the site, and green pylons marked "AM" guide visitors.

The Automeile Höherweg was built in 2003 and 2004 on a site at Höherweg in Flingern-Süd, where car dealers, workshops and scrapyards had previously settled. The project, initiated by Gottfried Schultz GmbH & Co. KG, was unique in Germany at the time. After the Kroymans group's insolvency in November 2009 left nine dealerships empty, the buildings were reoccupied from July 2010.

The location brings together car manufacturers from around the world in a shared space with modern showrooms. This arrangement shows how contemporary automotive retail has evolved into a unified commercial environment.

A green, traffic-calmed pedestrian promenade runs west to east as the central axis, with side paths branching off and a ring road around the site. Green pylons marked "AM" guide orientation. The registration office, a citizens' office, restaurants and the central car park sit in the southern section, two kilometres east of the city centre near the B8.

The site was a forced camp for Düsseldorf's Sinti families under National Socialism; most residents were later murdered in concentration camps. After 1945 a few survivors returned there. The artist Otto Pankok documented both periods in drawings and photographs that survive.
