A vibrant district that does justice to the significance of this location. A place that has always been important for Düsseldorf and that will take on a new radiance with Andreas Quartier.

The philosophy

A place with a unique personality

The Andreas Quartier combines apparent contradictions to create a contrasting experience. Here, listed architecture and the most modern facilities, entertainment and culture, sophistication and local colour, big city life and nature, inspiration and contemplation, sound and silence form the facets of a fascinating art of living.

Historical heritage

A unique, living monument

Behind the historical façade of the former Palace of Justice, a life beckons that can only be inadequately described as luxurious. Because, in keeping with the high-quality architecture, the residents here are surrounded by a combination of facilities, amenities and services that leave nothing to be desired. Here you don't live, you reside. Just as the Elector intended. 

Neighbourhood with a city-defining character

Where Düsseldorf shines

The Andreas Quartier is located in the historic Andreasviertel, in the heart of Düsseldorf. This central location allows residents to experience everything the city has to offer, either right in the neighbourhood or in the immediate vicinity – from first-class restaurants and boutiques to cultural highlights. At the same time, it offers hidden retreats of tranquillity as the perfect counterbalance to urban life.

Magnificent churches and no less spectacular secular buildings tell of the rich history of the former residence city and present-day state capital. And even for long-established Düsseldorf residents, there is always something new to discover around the Andreas Quartier.

On historic ground

Deeply rooted in history

The area where the Andreas Quartier is located today has always been closely interwoven with the history of the city of Düsseldorf. Its historical origins even predate the city's founding. This is testament to the unbroken appeal and quality of this special location for over 1,500 years. The past can still be traced, discovered and experienced today through outstanding and hidden architectural traces from different eras, but also through the revival of traditions in a contemporary setting.

The splendour and heyday of the Baroque

In the Baroque era, Düsseldorf's social and cultural life experienced an initial heyday that continues to this day. During this period, the rulers also became interested in the site that was later to become the Andreas Quartier. William the Rich had the ducal stables and riding school built here. The Komödie was also built during his reign. In turn, Johann Wilhelm of the Palatinate had it converted into Düsseldorf's first opera house. The Cölestinerinnen-Kloster (Cölestinerinnen monastery) on Ratinger Straße was also built under his aegis. It was severely damaged by an artillery bombardment in 1794. Converted into the Spinrath Palace, it marks the transition from baroque to early classicism. Its listed façade is now part of the Andreas Quartier.

Governor's Residence and Provincial Parliament

Metamorphoses of Power

In 1766, under the rule of Elector Carl Theodor, a governor's palace was built on Mühlenstraße, where the impressive portal of the Andreas Quartier is located today. Initially, it served as a representative administrative centre and residence for its governor, Count Johann Ludwig von Goltstein. He was followed by Duke Wilhelm of Bavaria, the French Grand Duke Joachim Murat and finally the Prussian district president. Later, the provincial parliament of the Rhine province met here. From 1911, the early classical building was demolished to make way for the district and local court. However, the central main portal was preserved. It was moved to an inner courtyard, where it can still be seen today.

Palace of Justice and architectural gem

Back to the roots

After a long construction period – interrupted by the First World War – the district and regional court opened its doors in 1923. It is no coincidence that the neo-baroque Wilhelmine-style building, with its façade structure, allegorical sculptures and dimensions, is reminiscent of a monumental baroque palace and more than lives up to the name Palace of Justice. Spectacular trials have been held here that have made criminal and legal history. The court closed its doors at the beginning of 2010. After seven years of careful planning and extensive renovation and refurbishment work, it has reopened as a prestigious part of the Andreas Quartier.
