District

Benrath

Benrath lies in the south of Düsseldorf and is inseparably linked with its pink landmark: Benrath Palace. Built in the 18th century as a pleasure and hunting palace, the ensemble is regarded as a masterpiece of the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism and is surrounded by an expansive, geometrically laid-out park with a mirror pond. Around the palace stretches a refined, grown district with a quiet village core, the tradition-rich Benrath market and a relaxed, almost small-town atmosphere. A popular, green residential location away from the hectic pace of the big city.

Location & Character

Benrath lies in the south of Düsseldorf and is regarded as a refined, green residential district with a character of its own. Around the famous palace stretches a grown village core with quiet residential streets, shops and a relaxed, almost small-town atmosphere. Families and those seeking quiet value the mix of a representative palace setting, plenty of greenery and good connections to the inner city.

Palace & Park

The pink Benrath Palace is the undisputed landmark of the district: built in the 18th century as a pleasure and hunting palace, it is regarded as a masterpiece at the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism. The expansive, strictly geometrically laid-out palace park with its mirror pond, avenues and old stands of trees invites you to stroll. Museums of garden art and natural history complement the stately ensemble.

Life in the Quarter

Around the Benrath market, the district cultivates a down-to-earth, neighbourly quarter life with shops, cafés and a weekly market. The quiet village core, clubs and festivals ensure a cozy togetherness. Thanks to its location on the Rhine and in the green, life here can be arranged in a relaxed way, while the inner city and the railway station remain reachable in a short time.
