The Ritterstraße is an old street in the northern old town between the banks of the Rhine and the Eiskellerberg . The origin of the name follows from the "The apartments of the knights", d. H. the civil servants who emerged from the Bergisch nobility . The street has a closed development that dates back to the 17th century.

Ferber describes the history of the street as follows:

“As I said earlier, Ritterstrasse is not one of the oldest streets. In , land tax book of 1632 ' it comes just before little as the tax book of 1663, which we also present. With the explosion of the Pulterthurm in 1634, only a few houses 'eighth of the wall at the Powder Tower' could be damaged, others were not there. It was not until fifty years later that Elector Philipp Wilhelm decided to build the 'new plant' , that is, the side of the Ritterstrasse facing the harbor. Almost simultaneously in 1684 a Comisson met, including Friedrich Christian Freiherr von Spee , Freiherr von Nesselrode and Dr. Contzen, in order to consider 'that because of the influx of the many traders and for the increased security of the trade, the citizens should be billeted and barracks built for the military' . The result of these considerations seems to have been the building of the later, now closed Reuterkaserne , at least a hand drawing in the State Archives backwards the small Ritterstrasse shows a number of 'planned Baraques' . "

And Hans Müller-Schlösser :

“The most elegant street in Düsseldorf, that of the nobility and high officials [...] was Ritterstraße. During the powder explosion in 1634 there were only a few houses here, and only on the built-up side after the Altestadt street , called "eighth of the wall at the powder tower". In 1684 it was decided to expand the road. "

Development

The Ritterstrasse has several listed buildings, other facades were honored by Paul Sültenfuß .

  • No. 2 and 4: Baroque residential and housing developments from the 17th and 18th centuries, restored in the 20th century; is under monument protection.

The round tower of the house no. 2, aligned to the Rhine to the Reuter barracks, the is strain crest of those of Goltstein , wherein the Adler in the crest between the two buffalo horns from the crest improvement is maintained from 1694 to gold. On the facade of No. 2, facing the bank of the castle, there is a coat of arms of the Bergisch lion without a crown with an upside down anchor and below it 16 • S • P • Q • D • 97 ( S enatus P opulus Q ue D üsseldorfiensis 1694). There is a bull above the house entrance No. 2, the birthplace of the history painter Franz Cremer , on Ritterstraße, above the gate entrance a double coat of arms and above the house entrance No. 4 a helmet with an open flight and a shield with a red cross .

"You used to be and are now a house again [No. 2 and 4], which was probably built by the widow Aaken. The entrance to Thorweg is crowned by a double coat of arms, undoubtedly that of the builder. In his “Historical Walk through Düsseldorf”, Colonel von Schaumburg mistakenly believed it to be that of the Count von Goltstein's family, who later owned the house, while in between 1741 it was the property of Councilor Kessler and in 1746 it was inhabited by Privy Councilor Grein. Together with the other houses of Count Goltstein on Citadellstrasse, this house was offered for sale in 1809 and acquired in 1811 by Peter Cremer, the father of the now living merchant and soap manufacturer Engelbert Cremer, who set up a candle factory here.
