Cecilienallee

Cecilienallee is a street lined with neobarboque buildings alongside Golzheim Park at the Rhine's edge. It runs north to south, connecting various administrative buildings throughout its length.

The street was named after Crown Princess Cecilie of Mecklenburg in the early 1900s. It developed following major riverbank construction work undertaken between 1898 and 1902.

The avenue displays government buildings and official structures that shape the city's identity. It reflects Düsseldorf's role as an administrative and cultural center.

The avenue is easily accessible with multiple entry points and cross-connections that function as a main route through the city. An underpass beneath the riverbank provides direct connection to the exhibition grounds to the south.

The avenue carried a different name during the Second World War when it was temporarily renamed. After the conflict ended, it returned to its original designation and has kept it ever since.
