Düsseldorf-Golzheim
Golzheim is a quarter of Düsseldorf in Borough 1 on the Rhine, just north of the city center. It is primarily a business and hotel district, but retains some of the old stately villas. History The oldest parts of Düsseldorf are to be found in Golzheim and Stockum, but the Golzheim area was not so built-up that it could not accommodate the large international Trade Fair of 1902, and thus was established as the primary Düsseldorf exhibition site. It hosted the international national Health Fair of 1926 and the huge cultural NSDAP Exhibition of 1937. The waterfront on the Rhine, the ''Rheinpark Golzheim'', owes its shape to these exhibitions. Started in 1947, the annual Düsseldorf Trade Fair was held in Golzheim in the ''Ehrenhof'' complex, until the new exhibition grounds were built next to the Düsseldorf Airport, airport in 1971. Many of the apartments, surrounding the area of ''Kaiserswerther Straße'' and ''Uerdinger Straße'', were used as holiday apartments for membe ...
