history

Mühlenplatz (around 1697)

The square at the end of Mühlenstrasse was originally called Mühlenplatz after the old municipal mill (also called Platzmühle ). The so-called Platzmühle on Mühlenplatz has been in operation since the Middle Ages. In 1623 the canons of Gerresheim and Düsseldorf, Petrus Laer, founded a seminar for foreign students at Mühlenplatz. From 1685 to 1785 the house of the Jülich-Bergisch Vice Chancellor Theodor Althoven on Mühlenplatz was used as a grammar school. The Jesuits ran a high school and seminar at Mühlenplatz. Already at this time the square was used for festivities and large events: “It remains to be mentioned that the wild horses that came from the Duisberger Walde used to be ridden in on the Mühlenplatz . The knighthood also performed a tournament and a caroussel here on the occasion of the wedding celebration of Prince Philipp Wilhelm , a younger brother of our splendor-loving Prince Johann Wilhelm. "

Kleiner Paradeplatz (around 1800)

When the garrison used the square for their parades , it was called the parade ground. It was considered one of the "earliest parade grounds in Düsseldorf". The Paradeplatz was also used as a shoe, weekly and vegetable market, for example at the three-day annual fairs in Düsseldorf around 1800 - “The foreign shoemakers were brought to the 'small Paradeplatz' (Grabbeplatz) [...] The weekly or vegetable market had to be on these days, move to the small Paradeplatz " Adolph von Vagedes wanted to redesign the Paradeplatz in particular:" He wanted to fill the Paradeplatz, today's Grabbeplatz, to a horizontal area, fill it with a fountain, and replace it with today's Heinrich-Heine-Allee [...] connect with a staircase ".

Friedrichsplatz (after 1815)

In the post-French period, squares and streets were renamed after personalities of the ruling house. The square was named "Friedrichsplatz" after Prince Friedrich of Prussia . The street corner of the avenue from there to Ratinger Strasse was renamed Friedrichstrasse after King Friedrich Wilhelm IV .

  • At Friedrichsplatz No. 3 was the municipal mill, also known as the square mill, which was very old - "as old as the city" - and in 1685 a new building was built. The city bought it at the end of the 19th century and had it demolished together with house no. 5 in order to build the Düsseldorf Museum of Applied Arts in its place .

  • The building at Friedrichsplatz No. 5 "with the interesting gable" belonged to the Canzleiprokurator Peter Joseph van Geldern and his wife Christine Reusing in 1805. The city bought it at the end of the 19th century and had it demolished together with house no. 3 in order to build a trade museum in its place.

  • One of the controversial construction projects on Friedrichsplatz around 1852 was the planned “Industrial Palace”. This was the name of a building that Gustav Baumüller wanted to build on Friedrichsplatz in 1852 for a permanent industrial and art exhibition. A stock exchange hall was also to be set up in this building, in which the merchants and manufacturers from the surrounding area were to meet weekly to negotiate business. The construction project was not carried out.
  • One of the controversial building projects on Friedrichsplatz around 1854 was the Marian column , the "only religious monument of the 19th century in Düsseldorf". The project was rejected by the city assembly, although the entire clergy and the population of Catholic faith who lived there supported it: “The association, supported by all pastors of the mayor's office, asked the city council to put the column on Friedrichsplatz, today's Grabbeplatz, right in the To be able to build the middle of the Catholic population of the old part of town. He was certain that his application would not be rejected. His astonishment and horror, however, was great when the City Council majority voted against it. "Finally, it was this in 1873 in the Düsseldorf district Carlstadt built on the Maxplatz.

  • In 1856 the plan was to build the New City Theater on Friedrichsplatz. However, the construction project was not carried out.
  • The Alte Kunsthalle was built in 1856 . This project was also controversial: “This plan [to build the old art gallery on Grabbeplatz] was also controversial: the district president objected that the new building would destroy the beauty of the cityscape on Friedrichsplatz and restrict the unobstructed view of the government and regional council building on Mühlenstrasse a. He was justified in making such an objection since the place belonged to the Treasury. "

Grabbeplatz (since 1936)

The square has been named after the poet since 1936. The Grabbeplatz is next to the St. Andrew's Church , the Wilhelmine District and Regional Courts , the Kunsthalle and the art collection K20 . This is located at Grabbeplatz 5 and was built according to designs by the Copenhagen architects Dissing + Weitling and opened in 1986.

“The Grabbeplatz with the baroque St. Andrew's Church from 1622–28, the mausoleum, the Wilhelminian district and regional court , the municipal art hall representing a building type from the 1960s and the state's elegant, post-modern art collection K20 offer a mix of styles from over 350 buildings Years.
