Tips
Düsseldorf's Himmelgeist district is located in a Rhine arch with a nature reserve. The oldest mention of Himmelgeist is related to a Fronhof and the year 904. Behind the walls of the Himmelgeister Fronhof has been a kind of village in the village since 2015, an idea by the architect Rainer Dolle.There are two interpretations for the name Himmelgeist, which is over a thousand years old: Humelgis was a “heath land”, as a counterpart to the swamp land, and a mixture of humilis = low and gise = heath land; Another derivation with a similar origin is probably the Middle High German geest / geisten, which means a "dry place in the flood plain".de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himmelgeist
