The Rhine was full to the brim when I visited in May 2006. It's interesting to watch the barges: going upstream they battle against the current, going downstream they have an easy ride.
The Rheinkniebrücke shown here is one of the two major river crossings in the city.
Düsseldorf is off-the-beaten-path from a tourist perspective, but off the beaten path in Düsseldorf itself is this statue/monument. I have no earthly idea what it represents -- it's just off the riverfront, just outside the Altstadt, and it's in NONE of the guidebooks/tourist literature. It's just really creepy. One theory is that it's a monument about the plague, but it seems to recent for that. The World Wars? Not contrite enough. If you know, tell me. Oh, if you're wondering, that's my friend Brigitta. She's not laughing -- she's trying to impersonate the creepy skeleton. Don't ask.
I've since heard that the Altstadt of Düsseldorf is somewhat famous for its "rough", or in my eyes rude, service in its restaurants. The service at this particular restaurant was some of the worst I have ever experienced. The restaurant was not particularly busy, but the pot-bellied waiter took his sweet time in arriving at the table, as did the food and drink after ordering. I found a long black hair in my food, which I didn't complain about, but it put me off the rest of my meal. When the waiter came to collect the dishes, he gave me a look like I was a piece of dog muck on his shoe when he saw I hadn't eaten every last speck of food on the plate. Our subsequent request for a coffee and another beer was simply forgotten about. They did at least say goodbye when we left.
The food was pretty good, except for the hair, and the restaurant itself was quite pleasant, but I don't pay good money for service like that.
After we met up at the Düsseldorf train station we made our way into the city for lunch at Marktplatz. This is a touristiy, but nice square nevertheless. On one end of the square you will find the Rathaus, which is the Town Hall of the city. It is built with Dutch architectural features and thus looks very nice ;-)
Just in front of St Lambertus church in the old town is a rather fine monument to the history of the town that depicts a number of scenes. With a little thought and the 'potted' history given in the free city-leaflet we could work out some of the points of history depicted. Unfortunately my German was not up to reading about it in detail from the neaby plaque.
I hope they put one up in other languages soon, as this fine monument deserves a wider audience.
