Places to see in ( Dusseldorf - Germany ) Hofgarten
Places to see in ( Dusseldorf - Germany ) Hofgarten
The Hofgarten is the green lung of Düsseldorf. It stretches from the Jacobistraße with Schloss Jägerhof and the bordering Malkasten park to the Heinrich-Heine-Allee by the Altstadt (Old Town) and from the Königsallee to the Rheinterrasse (Rhine Terrace) on the banks of the Rhine. Because of its diversity and the pleasing contrast between nature and formal design, it is a popular destination for relaxing walks.
The Reitallee with its four rows of trees adheres to this formal design, as does the perfectly straight stretch of the Düssel and the flower garden with carefully delineated flower-beds. These stark forms create an attractive contrast with the remainder of the Hofgarten, which in the spirit of the English landscape style, is designed with attractive, “natural” features. On the 27.73-hectare grounds there are extensive meadows as well as impressive big single trees, which reflect the Hofgarten creator Maximilian Weyhe’s vision of a natural landscape. North of the Maximilian-Weyhe-Allee are most of the Hofgarten’s 2000, up to 200-year-old trees, which are reminiscent of a little wood. The gently babbling Düssel, the little lake with the “Jröner Jong”, and the quiet pond on the Landskrone add an invigorating element to the Hofgarten. The Hofgärtnerhaus (Court Gardener House) was once the abode of the renowned garden architect Maximilian Weyhe.
Strange as it sounds, the peaceful Hofgarten owes its creation to military events. The conflicts in the Seven Years War had dragged the grounds of Pempelfort – which then lay outside of the fortifications – into the midst of the troubles. Following the devastation, Imperial Count Franz Ludwig Anton von Goltstein, the Elector’s governor, wanted to restore order and harmony. So in 1769 the oldest part of the Hofgarten between Schloss Jägerhof and the lake with the “Jröner Jong” was designed by Nicolas de Pigage in the French classical style.
This makes Düsseldorf’s Hofgarten Germany’s first and oldest public park. Between 1797 and 1799, large parts of the Hofgarten fell victim to military planning. The French, who in the confusion of the Revolutionary wars had captured Düsseldorf, expanded the city into a fortification. However, following the peace treaty of Lunéville in 1801, the French had to leave Düsseldorf again and the fortifications were destroyed. This made room for the expansion of the Hofgarten, which was begun according to plans by Maximilian Weyhe in 1804.
The plans were expressly approved by Napoleon in 1811, who left the former wall site to the people of Düsseldorf with a “beautification decree”. Weyhe created a landscape garden in the English style. His art of designing gentle elevations and valleys to conjure up a “natural” landscape is reflected in the Hofgarten: the interplay of the Landskrone, Hexenberg and Ananasberg hills as well as the Napoleonsberg with the bordering, extensive meadows is a masterpiece. Weyhe also redesigned large parts of the old French section of the garden; only the Reitallee and the Seufzerallee beside the Düssel remained as they were. The Hofgarten was incorporated into the city planning of the time. Despite their differing characters and views, the garden architect Weyhe and the city planner Adolph von Vagedes worked together closely and fruitfully. The aim was to create a swathe of green stretching from the Rhine, through the Schwanenspiegel, Königsallee, Hofgarten and Heinrich-Heine-Allee back to the Rhine. For the EUROGA 2002plus with its theme “Decentralised State Garden Show”, the Hofgarten was the first public park in Germany to be renovated.
The Hofgarten is adorned by numerous historic monuments and modern sculptures. As “artistic objects” they complement the diverse landscapes of the park and add an attractive touch. Probably the most popular is the Märchenbrunnen: with its winsome forms and charm in a secluded corner near the pond, it invites those out for a stroll to linger and look at the fairytale figures. In addition there is the neo-classic-romantic Stephanien bust, the simple monument for the Hofgarten creator Weyhe, and the thought-provoking memorials for fallen soldiers; and last but not least modern sculptures like Vadim Sidhur’s “Mahner” and the reclining figure in two parts by Henry Moore.

Places to see in ( Dusseldorf - Germany ) Nordpark
Places to see in ( Dusseldorf - Germany ) Nordpark
The Nordpark – synonymous with relaxation, fountains, sculptures, beautiful mature trees, decorative flowerbeds, playgrounds, an aquazoo and a Japanese Garden. All this variety is doubtlessly one of the reasons why this 36.6-hectare park is one of the most popular in Düsseldorf.
The park is traversed by wide paths, while the different garden areas are separated by spacious lawns bordered by trees. Besides geometrically landscaped flowerbeds, the park also contains themed gardens like the lily garden, which has a pond surrounded by pillars that provide welcome shade in summer.
Altogether, the Nordpark has 4000 square metres of ponds, fountains and water features. If you enter the Nordpark from the Kaiserswerther Straße, the view into the park is dominated by the water features in the 170-metre-long basin, and the subsequent large fountain further along this axis.
The beautifully planted flowerbeds, which are completely replanted twice a year and which cover a total area of 3800 square metres, are also a popular attraction whatever the season. The convenient location of the Nordpark is also part of its draw: above all its proximity to the Rhine and its easterly extension along the so-called “Memorial Axis” to the Nordfriedhof cemetery, make it a popular destination for a leisurely stroll.
The Nordpark was created in 1937 for the “Große Reichsausstellung Schaffendes Volk” (Great Reich Exhibition of the Productive People) based on designs by the director of Düsseldorf’s Parks Department Willi Tapp. Because of the area’s relative flatness, the park was designed as a large open space aligned along a series of axes. It was built on mainly undeveloped land with only moderate soil quality. After the Second World War, the popular park was occupied by British forces. It was handed back to the city bit by bit between 1953 and 1985.

WWII veteran Harry Irons describes his first bombing raid over Germany
Harry Irons (January 1924 - November 2018) joined the RAF in 1940, by lying about his age. He served as a mid-upper gunner and later a rear gunner aboard Lancaster and Halifax bombers, in No. 9 Squadron and No. 158 Squadron. Here he describes his first bombing mission, which took place in September 1942, and involved bombing Düsseldorf. In total, Harry survived 60 missions over Europe, which resulted in him being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, at the end of the war.
I recorded this interview on the 30th July 2016, and would like to thank the International Bomber Command Centre for making this interview possible.
An Imperial War Museum interview with him can be found here:
