Lohausen, Residential district in northern Düsseldorf, Germany
Lohausen is a residential area in northern Düsseldorf that combines homes with green spaces along the Rhine River. Düsseldorf International Airport is located here and shapes the district's landscape with its facilities and runways.
The area began as a farming village in 1147 and was later inhabited by local nobility. It became part of Düsseldorf in 1929 and joined the city's development.
The district reveals its ties to local history through half-timbered houses and other structures from earlier times that still stand throughout the neighborhoods. Visitors can notice these buildings while walking around and get a sense of how the area developed over the years.
The airport and good public transport connections make the area easy to reach, though some neighborhoods are affected by aircraft noise. For peaceful walks along the river, the green areas offer a better experience.
The district maintains one of the lowest population densities among Düsseldorf's neighborhoods, making it more open and spacious. This looser development with plenty of open space sets it apart from the more densely built areas found in other parts of the city.
