Borough 1 ( German: Stadtbezirk 1) is the central borough of Düsseldorf, the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and the city's commercial and cultural center. The borough covers an area of 11.31 square kilometres and (as of December 2020) has about 86,000 inhabitants. [1]
Despite being one of Düsseldorf's smallest boroughs by area, Stadtbezirk 1 includes several distinct quarters: the city's Medieval Altstadt is known as an entertainment district with plenty of Altbier pubs and bars, while the adjacent Baroque-style Carlstadt has a very Bohemian character. Stadtmitte is the city's shopping and central business district, extending into the three Gründerzeit quarters of Pempelfort, Derendorf and Golzheim - the latter three also being popular as both business locations and residential areas. The entire borough has a high density of institutions and enterprises associated with the arts and culture in general.
The borough shares borders (clockwise from north) with Düsseldorf boroughs 5, 6, 2, 3 and - over the Rhine - Borough 4.
Borough 1 is made up of six Stadtteile (city parts):
# | City part | Population (2020) [1] | Area (km²) [2] | Pop. per km² [1] |
---|---|---|---|---|
011 | Altstadt | 2,429 | 0.477 | 5,398 |
012 | Carlstadt | 2,259 | 0.451 | 5,020 |
013 | Stadtmitte | 14,654 | 1.77 | 8,279 |
014 | Pempelfort | 33,137 | 2.70 | 12,228 |
015 | Derendorf | 20,584 | 3.36 | 6,072 |
016 | Golzheim | 12,873 | 2.56 | 5,068 |
As the business center of Düsseldorf, Borough 1 is well served by numerous railway stations and highway. [3] Largest train station is Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, other stations include Düsseldorf Wehrhahn and a dense net of both Düsseldorf Stadtbahn underground- and Rheinbahn tram-stations. The Rheinufertunnel is part of Bundesstraße 1 and runs some 2 km along the right Rhine side, diverting car traffic away from the streets. Two large bridges cross the river into the left-Rhenish quarter of Oberkassel.
