description

District 5 is the largest of the ten districts in terms of area and covers a good quarter of the entire urban area of ​​the state capital. The city district is characterized by strong contrasts. In the south of the area are the Düsseldorf airport , the exhibition grounds and the multifunctional arena ; the north, on the other hand, is predominantly characterized by agriculture, forests and suburban development in the districts of Wittlaer, Angermund and Kalkum. The parts of Stockum not taken up by the trade fair are predominantly dignified residential areas, mostly with villa developments from the 1930s. Lohausen, on the other hand, is still characterized by a village, as no major development of the district was possible due to its proximity to the airport. Finally, Kaiserswerth, with its medieval core, offers the image of a cozy small town and forms the center of the entire city district in every respect. The district representation and the district administration are located in the former town hall of Kaiserswerth . The branch of the Düsseldorf city libraries responsible for the north of Düsseldorf is also located in Kaiserswerth .

Despite the large distances to the city center by Düsseldorf standards and the nuisance caused by the airport, the entire city district is a very popular residential area. Both rents and land values ​​are among the highest in the city. Except in Kaiserswerth and z. T. Stockum, where there are also multi-family houses on a large scale, predominates the development with single and two-family houses.

There are traffic connections to Düsseldorf city center and to Duisburg via the B 8 , the B 8n expressway and the U79 light rail line . In Angermund there is an S-Bahn stop on line S1 .
