Mahn- und Gedenkstätte

Founded in 1987, Mahn- und Gedenkstätte honors the memory of victims in Düsseldorf during the Nazi regime. The building in the Old Town used to be a prison for political prisoners before being taken over by the German Army in 1934. Besides hosting temporary exhibitions on a variety of topics, the memorial contains a permanent exhibition, entitled Persecution & Resistance.

Heinrich-Heine-Institut

Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) is regarded as one of Germany's greatest writers. The centerpiece of this fascinating institute is an exhibition documenting his life, his work and the influence that he has had upon German literature over the centuries. The library, which includes the manuscript department of the regional and city library, is a starting point for literary research and the archives cover the fields of literature, music, art and science. This unique cultural institution not only allows scholars access to research material, but is also a forum for communication and critical discussion.

Maritime Museum in Schlossturm

Located on Burgplatz, the Schlossturm (castle tower) is all that remains of the Düsseldorf City Palace, which was built in the 13th Century. After a turbulent history, the palace was finally destroyed by a fire in 1872. Today, the Schlossturm is one of the most prevailing places of interest in Düsseldorf's Old Town. Positioned along the Rhine embankment promenade, the castle tower is home to a maritime museum which presents a comprehensive history of shipping along the Rhine. Exhibits include a narrative on ship building, trade on the river, Rhine ecology as well as pictures of people and their lives on the Rhine. A café, offering a wonderful view of the lively square below as well as the ships on the river, can be found on the top floor.

Rotating exhibitions dealing with specific actors, singers, dancers, directors, stage and costume design, architecture, technology and aesthetics give a fascinating insight into theatrical life over the centuries. The Dumont-Lindemann-Archiv forms the backbone of the collection.
