Ehrenhof, Architectural ensemble in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Ehrenhof is an architectural complex in Düsseldorf featuring elongated courtyards surrounded by symmetrical brick buildings with monumental design elements. The ensemble stretches along the Rhine riverbank and connects multiple cultural institutions within a coherent overall design.

The Ehrenhof was built in 1925–26 to plans by Wilhelm Kreis for the GeSoLei, the "Great Exhibition for Health Care, Social Welfare and Physical Exercise", which drew around 7.5 million visitors and covered some 400,000 m², making it the largest fair of the Weimar Republic. It was Düsseldorf's first international self-presentation after the end of the French occupation. Kreis drew on plans he had prepared in 1914 for an exhibition in 1915, halted by the First World War.

The complex houses both the NRW-Forum for contemporary art and the Museum Kunstpalast, presenting works from different artistic periods. Visitors can move between modern pieces and classical works, seeing how different artistic movements coexist side by side.

The various museums and venues are accessible through multiple entrances, with the main access point at Ehrenhof 2-5. Visitors should allow enough time to walk between the individual buildings and explore the different offerings.

The Tonhalle at the end of the garden parterre is a domed concert and multipurpose hall, not a former planetarium. The ensemble's name refers to the ceremonial courtyard of symmetrical palace complexes, which the buildings and gardens imitate. The Italian architect Marcello Piacentini drew on Wilhelm Kreis's axial layout for his plan of La Sapienza in Rome.
