The history of construction and use of the City Hall of the City of Dusseldorf dates back to the years 1570/73 in the oldest parts of the building. Since then, the city center, 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 municipal 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.
