History of the old townhall in Düsseldorf
Dating back to 1573, the oldest wing of this architectural gem on the Marktplatz stands as a rare, surviving example of authentic red-brick Renaissance design. For generations, this iconic building in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town) served not just as the city council's seat, but also as the historic assembly place for the Estates of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg. The grand square out front is famously anchored by the 1711 bronze equestrian statue of Elector Jan Wellem, a beloved monument celebrating the city’s golden cultural age. Perfect for history buffs and travelers alike, this souvenir magnet beautifully captures over 450 years of Düsseldorf’s rich civic legacy.
