Construction financing Düsseldorf

A lot has happened in Düsseldorf since our founding. Of course, the city has always been a strong economic centre - as the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, but also due to its proximity to Germany's number one location for heavy industry - the Ruhr region.

So the conditions were favourable, and the city has made the most of every opportunity, especially in recent years, to call an unprecedented upswing its own, not only nationwide but also internationally.

The city at the heart of the central European economic area has long been ranked 6th in Mercer's study of the cities with the highest quality of life worldwide.

The municipality has been debt-free for several years in a row and is thus in a position to invest a lot in infrastructure, culture and, not least, social commitment. Welcome to Düsseldorf - it's a good place to live!

Today, more than 503,000 companies operate in the Düsseldorf Rhine-Ruhr economic region. Numerous multinational corporations from various industries have made Düsseldorf their preferred location in Europe.

Over 70 consulates and foreign business promotion and tourism organisations facilitate international business contacts. For many years, the city has been the most important centre for Japan to do business from throughout Europe, but China has also discovered Düsseldorf as an international trading centre.

Düsseldorf has never been an industrial city, there has always been more administration and trade here. Today, for example, the city is in particular an internationally important location for trade fairs and congresses and, in addition to the service sector, the most important economic sectors include the creative industries, fashion and beauty and the digital economy with numerous start-ups from all sectors. With Henkel and its subsidiary Schwarzkopf, Düsseldorf also has a global player in the consumer goods industry and an important listed company.

Düsseldorf has the most important airport in North Rhine-Westphalia. From here, there are daily connections all over the world. Düsseldorf is Germany's second-largest banking location after Frankfurt and scores points over other German financial centres, especially as the headquarters of foreign financial institutions.

Düsseldorf is also a top German location for consulting firms. Among the 15 largest management consultancies in Germany, the largest turnover is generated in Düsseldorf with over 20 billion euros. Large insurance groups such as ARAG, Ergo or Provinzial also have their headquarters in Düsseldorf.

Japan has a very special relationship with the Rhine metropolis. No other city in the world has as many Japanese as Düsseldorf. There is a real Japanese quarter here, not only with offices, but with everything that makes the Far Eastern heart beat faster. The restaurants around Immermannstraße are legendary; here you can find not only the best sushi but also lesser-known Japanese delicacies.

Showrooms, trade fairs, retail, many trade events and important companies in the fashion industry characterise a unique fashion scene that is otherwise only found in Paris, Milan or New York. More than 3,000 companies from the fashion sector reside in the Düsseldorf area.

Not only large companies with their headquarters are located here, but also many small and very innovative designers, traders and producers. Of course, the Königsallee is world-famous with its luxury shops and the atmosphere of a large international boulevard. A lot has been invested and renovated around the boulevard in recent years.

Many new offices and very attractive residential buildings of the highest international standard were built. Meanwhile, you can stroll from here directly into the neighbouring Hofgarten and stand in one of the green lungs of the city. Of course, the old town and the Rhine with its beautiful promenade are also just around the corner.

Let yourself be infected by the esprit of the city and discover the many facets of Düsseldorf - you will be thrilled!

Its outstanding international reputation as a city of art began as early as the 19th century with the renowned Kunstakademie. in the 1950s, the city then became, together with Cologne, the centre for modern art in Germany. Today, renowned artists, photographers and galleries characterise the city and the "Düsseldorf School" has made history.

As the state capital, Düsseldorf naturally also has a wide range of museums, cultural institutions of all kinds, theatres and an opera house. The Kunstpalast regularly hosts internationally acclaimed exhibitions, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen has an outstanding collection of contemporary art and the Tonhalle hosts concerts of all kinds.

Of course, the numerous parks, the many green spaces in the city and the Rhine all offer first-class leisure activities. Sporting events are very important, and the city - a creative city - is also breaking new ground.

The cross-country skiing World Cup from 2002/3 to 2011/12 was one of the highlights.

Pubs, restaurants, cafés, bars, breweries. This diverse gastronomic mix may not call itself the longest bar in the world for nothing - Düsseldorf's Altstadt. Around the heart of the old town - Bolkerstrasse - around 250 pubs, bars or restaurants congregate in a very small space. Here you can find everything from the quaint corner pub to the trendy restaurant. Traditionally, people do not only party here at weekends; in Düsseldorf, the weekend starts on Wednesdays. There are also always plenty of trade fair or congress visitors, students from the nearby art academy or business people looking for an after-work drink. There is always something going on here and everyone has their favourite pub in Düsseldorf. Whether it's the Uerige in Berger Straße or the Füchschen, the Oberbayern or the Killepitsch-Kabüffke. Düsseldorf really has something of the relaxed atmosphere of the south here - of course also because of the temperament of the inhabitants.

Highlights in the calendar of events are the Rheinkirmes in summer and of course the carnival in February/March. Then you should rather avoid the city for business meetings or similar.
