A striking address, a venerable building. The Düsseldorf town hall, built by Heinrich Tussmann, has stood at Marktplatz 1, the north side of the central market square, for almost 450 years.

A lot of water has flowed down the Rhine since then, no wonder that the town hall has been renovated and expanded several times over the centuries. The “Grupello Building” followed in 1705 and around 180 years later, i.e. three centuries after the first building, was the “Wilhelminian Building”. built. Another wing of the building ensemble, Marktplatz 6, dates from the post-war period. Governing from the heart of the old town and therefore close to the citizens - this tradition has lived on here for centuries. There is a particularly high level of community proximity around Christmas time: then the market square around the Jan Wellem equestrian monument is the romantic backdrop for the Düsseldorf Christmas market.

Today's town hall consists of a total of five wings or parts of the building, three of which border the market square in a southerly direction and thus form the actual heart of the old town: The first and oldest wing is the old town hall from 1573 (Marktplatz 1). The New Town Hall and the former Grupello House from 1706 are located at a right-angled bend. These two parts make up the second wing (Market Square 2 and 3). Opposite the Old Town Hall, the post-war administration building (Marktplatz 6) is the youngest part of the entire complex. Another wing of the building is the former east wing of the Gemäldegalerie, which borders Burgplatz in the north. Facing the Rhine and the Rhine promenade, the rooms of the former arts and crafts school complete the overall ensemble. In the middle of the market square is the Jan Wellem Equestrian Monument, a landmark of Düsseldorf.

The construction and usage history of the town hall in the state capital Düsseldorf goes back to the years 1570/73 in the oldest parts of the building. Since then, the Düsseldorf town hall, located in the middle of the old town and in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine, has been the seat of the city council and the local administration. Until 1806, the oldest parts of the building, the Old Town Hall, also served as a meeting place for the estates of the Duchies of Jülich-Berg.[1] The main entrance and the representative view are on the market square enclosed by the town hall. The first building in Düsseldorf in which the city council met was probably opposite the Lambertus Church and was the old customs house. The second town hall was known as the “Zum Schwarzen Horn” house, which is located at Ratinger Straße 6 and served as the town hall from 1470 to 1544. In 1545 the city acquired a building on the market square for the lay judges and the council, which was replaced by a new building after 1570. Today's town hall consists of a total of five wings or parts of the building, three of which border the market square in a southerly direction and thus form the actual heart of the old town: The first and oldest wing is the old town hall from 1573 (Marktplatz 1). The New Town Hall and the former Grupello House from 1706 are located at a right-angled bend. These two parts make up the second wing (Market Square 2 and 3). Opposite the Old Town Hall, the post-war administration building (Marktplatz 6) is the youngest part of the entire complex. Another wing of the building is the former east wing of the Gemäldegalerie, which borders Burgplatz in the north. Facing the Rhine and the Rhine promenade, the rooms of the former arts and crafts school complete the overall ensemble. In the middle of the market square is the Jan Wellem Equestrian Monument, a landmark of Düsseldorf.
