Dominikanerkloster an der Herzogstraße in Düsseldorf, Dominican monastery in central Düsseldorf, Germany.

The monastery complex included a church built with brick walls, sandstone elements, basalt lava foundations, and tuff stone vaults and cornices.

Construction of the monastery started in 1860, but Dominican friars had to leave during the Kulturkampf in 1875, returning in 1887.

The community at St Andreas Church manages religious activities, social counseling services, and city pastoral care in the center of Düsseldorf.

The monastery operated until 1973, when the building was demolished to make space for the WestLB headquarters constructed in the early 1980s.

The monastery church, consecrated in 1890 by Cologne Archbishop Philipp Krementz, featured neo-Gothic architecture designed by Vienna Cathedral architect Friedrich von Schmidt.
