Creative Districts

Young, creative and unconventional – this is how the other side of Düsseldorf presents itself. Conventional residential districts have developed into impressive hubs for the creative scene. The Ackerstrasse in the Flingern district is probably the best example of a place for "young creative guns". Many started to move here years ago as it was one of the less wealthier districts of Düsseldorf. Today, north Flingern and the structure that has grown there over the years have become a refreshing melting pot for the new creative class. More trendy shops are to be found on the Lorettostrasse in the Unterbilk district as well as in the Bilk and Pempelfort districts.
