Development
The rural street village of Niederkassel has developed into a heterogeneous district for high living standards. Along the Alt-Niederkassel street there are still numerous old courtyards and residential buildings, some of which have been restored in accordance with listed buildings. The Kaiser-Friedrich-Ring, which is predominantly built with one and two-family houses, stretches along the Rheinaue. There are also some large city villas here. It is one of the best addresses in the state capital. Otherwise, Niederkassel has mostly medium-sized residential complexes that are located in a green area.
The historic Meuser restaurant is one of the oldest buildings in Niederkassel. Even after several renovations and extensions, parts of the front house still date from the time of the Thirty Years' War . Franz-Wilhelm Meuser (* around 1829) from Büderich acquired the house in the early 1850s, including stables, brewery, malt kitchen, fountain, bowling alley and orchard. Since 1853 the "In the old beer house - 1853 1884 1921 1966 - Hermann Meuser" has belonged to the Meuser family, now in the fifth generation.
In 1767 Johann Wilhelm Maurenbrecher (1742–1784) acquired the Wormshof in Niederkassel near Düsseldorf and expanded it as a post office . In 1860 the family sold the property, now known as the “Maurenbrecher Hof”, to the Schmittmann grain distillery in Niederkassel .
The Niederkassel barrel race has been held on Carnival Sunday since 1887 . Barrels have to be brought to the destination as quickly as possible in a “Schörskar”, as the wagons are called on the flat.
Japanese
In the 1970s, the Japanese discovered Düsseldorf on the left bank of the Rhine, in particular Niederkassel, as a place to live. In 1973 they built a Japanese school on Niederkasseler Kirchweg and a cultural center nearby in 1993, the Eko House , which houses the only Buddhist temple of the Shin doctrine in Europe and a traditional Japanese tea house. There are also two Japanese kindergartens in Niederkassel.
With an average annual income of 84,639 euros, Niederkassel is one of the richest districts of Düsseldorf (as of December 31, 2007).
