Napoleonsberg Düsseldorf, Artificial hill in Hofgarten, Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Napoleonsberg rises within the Hofgarten park, providing a central vantage point to observe the surrounding landscape and city architecture.

Following Napoleon's visit to Düsseldorf in 1811, the hill was constructed using earth from harbor excavations as part of the city's beautification decree.

A memorial to Heinrich Heine stands at the edge of Napoleonsberg, featuring a stone wall with inscriptions and a bronze sculpture called Harmony.

The elevation offers views across the open lawns toward the Ratinger Gate and the historical city center of Düsseldorf.

The hill's strategic placement and elm tree plantings were designed by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe to create visual harmony between park and urban elements.
