Schlacht- und Viehhof Düsseldorf

The Schlacht- und Viehhof complex extends across 9.4 hectares between Rather Street and the Düsseldorf-Duisburg railway line, featuring yellow brick buildings with red stripes.

From 1899 to 2002, this former slaughterhouse operated as a central meat processing facility and served as a deportation point during the 1940s.

The preserved buildings now form part of the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences campus, integrating educational facilities with historical architecture.

The complex includes multiple halls, administrative buildings, and specialized areas that have been repurposed for university functions and memorial exhibitions.

Original stone troughs from the former animal holding areas remain in the university library, serving as historical reminders of the building's past.
