Eller

Eller is a residential district in southeast Düsseldorf with tree-lined streets, green spaces along the river, and forest areas. The neighborhood features parks, local shops, and quiet residential blocks that form its everyday structure.

The district grew from an ancient settlement with continuous habitation stretching back centuries, visible in its older buildings and street patterns. Over time it transformed from a rural area into a residential neighborhood while keeping traces of its past.

The central marketplace brings residents together on market days with vendors and shoppers moving between stalls under tall trees. The presence of this gathering place and the nearby church gives the district a strong sense of community identity that residents connect with today.

The district is easily reached by public transport with multiple connections to central Düsseldorf and nearby areas. Walking paths through parks and along streets offer safe, well-lit routes for getting around the neighborhood.

The name comes from alder trees that once dominated the swampy terrain where the district now sits. Visitors walking through green areas can still spot these trees scattered throughout the neighborhood today.
