Welcome To the GOETHE-INSTITUT düsseldorf Düsseldorf, the metropolis on the Rhine, is the largest city in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia. As a hub of international business activity and a major trade fair center, Düsseldorf comes across as worldly and easygoing. Some 5,000 companies from around the world have offices here, lending a cosmopolitan touch to the populace. The advertising, design and fashion sectors here generate higher sales than in any other German location. Neuer Zollhof, a postmodern ensemble of buildings designed by Frank Gehry, embodies the city’s creativity and identity. The most famous native son of Düsseldorf is definitely the poet Heinrich Heine, whose name is commemorated by the respected university here. With the artist Josef Beuys, the academy of fine arts also gained worldwide renown. Since 1976 the Düsseldorfer Photoschule, headed by Bernd and Hilla Becher, has been producing Germany’s most famous photographers, including Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff and Candida Höfer. The Goethe-Institut Düsseldorf is located in a modern building right at the railway station near the Konrad-Adenauer-Platz exit. This is also an ideal starting point for our course participants to visit destinations all over the Rhine-Ruhr region.
