DUSSELDORF
Düsseldorf is a wealthy city -- the richest in Germany. It's big and commercial,
full of banks and industrial offices and skyscrapers, but it's also refreshingly clean.
Düsseldorf got its start as a
settlement on the right bank of the Rhine, but today it's spread out on both sides
-- the older part on the right,
and the modern, commercial, and industrial part on the left. Five bridges connect
the two sections, the most impressive being the Oberkassel. Parks and
esplanades line the riverbanks.
After 85% of the right bank was destroyed in World War II, the city could easily
have grown into just another ugly manufacturing town, but Düsseldorf followed
a modern trend in reconstruction, and today it's the most elegant metropolis
in the Rhine Valley.
| GLASGOW`S FAMOUS GALLON CLUB IN THE ALTSTADT DUSSELDORF DUSSELDORF ALTSTADT Altstadt is the German language word for "old city", meaning "historical city centre within the city wall", in contrast to a Neustadt built outside later. The Altstadt (literally "old town") is one of the 49 boroughs of the German city of Düsseldorf, and belongs to City District (District 1). The Düsseldorfer Altstadt is known as the longest bar in the world (längste Theke der Welt), because the small Old Town has more than 300 bars and discotheques. Famous is the special beer from Düsseldorf, the Altbier ("old beer"), brewed from an old traditional recipe, which is only brewed in a few places in the world since the end of the 19th century. The Old Town has an area of half a square kilometer (which is less than a quarter of a percent of the whole city) and has 2297 inhabitants (2000), less than half a percent of the population of Düsseldorf.
