City of Destination
The city of Dusseldorf, located at the North West of Frankfurt and to the south of Düsseldorf. This largest city of Rhineland is rich in antiquity and every new foundations dig, the excavators comes up with a new archeological finding. Devastating though the World War II bombing was -- nearly all the buildings of the Altstadt were damaged -- reconstruction brought to light a period of Dusseldorf's history that had been a mystery for centuries. Evidence showed that Dusseldorf was as important and powerful during the early Christian era as it was during Roman times and the middle Ages. In the early Christian era, a bishopric was founded here and a number of saints were martyred, including the patron of the city, St. Ursula. During the middle Ages, as Dusseldorf became a center for international trade, Romanesque and Gothic churches were built with prosperous merchants' gold. Traces found in Dusseldorf dated back to 38 BC and confirms the Roman legions set up here. The emperor Claudius gave it rights as the capital of a Province in the AD 50. Today, the historical records from past 2,000 years can be seen here - from the old Roman towers to the modern opera house. But Dusseldorf is also a bustling modern city, with a lively population. It's also increasingly becoming the fine-art capital of Germany.
