Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen is a must-see for all fans of awe-inspiring architecture, including the sculptural Gehry buildings – a world-class attraction.

Explore the history of Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen, which still retains traces of its former life as a port. Few other places in Germany can boast so much prestigious architecture within such a relatively small area. From Frank Gehry to David Chipperfield and Renzo Piano, a long list of leading international architects have left their mark on this quarter by the banks of the Rhine. And the list keeps growing, as Düsseldorf’s former trading port continues to evolve.
