Fit for Germany – Rhein Area
The quarter Pützchen-Bechlinghoven has many advantages due to its proximity to the nature
park “Siebengebirge”, the leisure centre and spa Ennert as well as to the lively town centre of
Beuel. In this area one mainly finds detached and semi-detached housing.
Hardtberg
The district Hartberg is the smallest district of the four districts of Bonn with a size of 11,94
km². The German Department of Defence is still located in Hardtberg.
Duisdorf is an eminent location for the supreme federal authorities. Therefore, many bigger
housing estates have been built to host the federal employees. The quarter Medighoven south
of the Konrad-Adenauer-Damm with its green areas running through the many 4 to 6 story high
houses is a highly demanded living area. The quarter Büser Berg is dominated by a residential
estate planed in the 1970s with a large diversity of detached houses. This quarter is not only
famous for its residential areas in the countryside but also as a quarter where many trade
associations and lobbyists from economy and society are located.
Düsseldorf
Everywhere in Düsseldorf, the metropolis at the Rhine, you can feel international flair. The
city's population is about 570,000 inhabitants of which every sixth person has a foreign
passport. The city itself covers an area of 217 square kilometres with a wide variety of different
districts and neighbourhoods, each with its own special personality.
The size of the city lends itself to virtually unlimited contact opportunities: from politics and
business to media, science, culture and sports. At the same time, there is also a wealth of
opportunities in the form of conferences, exhibitions and conventions. Currently, 40
international trade shows take place in Düsseldorf every year.
Düsseldorf is connected world-wide through its international airport which is only a few minutes
away from the inner city and its dense road and train system.
What Oxford Street is in London and Champs Elysees in Paris, that is the Königsallee (so-
called “Kö”) in Düsseldorf. Among exquisite shopping lovers it is one of the world’s first
addresses. For more moderate but not less modern clothes we recommend you go to the
Fußgängerzone (pedestrian zone) in Düsseldorf where you can find all kinds of shops.
Düsseldorf is renowned for its carnival (
Fasching / Fastnacht)
. Carnival is celebrated
throughout Germany, however, Düsseldorf, Köln and Mainz are the main carnival centres
where it is celebrated extensively and intensely with fancy dresses and (often) drinking. The
carnival officially starts on 11
th
November of each year, however, the peak times are between
the end of January and the end of February (these vary each year).
