Stadterhebungsmonument, Bronze monument in Altstadt, Düsseldorf, Germany

The Stadterhebungsmonument stands at the intersection of Josef-Wimmer and Müller-Schlösser-Gasse, featuring detailed bronze sculptures depicting historical scenes of Düsseldorf.

Count Adolf V granted city rights to Düsseldorf in 1288 after the Battle of Worringen, an event commemorated by this monument created 700 years later.

The bronze sculpture, created by artist Bert Gerresheim in 1988, presents the Battle of Worringen, city seal, and Saint Lambertus church elevation.

Located in the center of Düsseldorf's Old Town, the monument serves as a meeting point near multiple traditional breweries and historical attractions.

Visitors standing on a specific stone within the monument can decode a hidden image revealing the date 1288, marking Düsseldorf's establishment as a city.
