The Königsallee and the Rhine. Rebuilt to the metre.
Evening on the Königsallee: the Kö-Graben down the middle, fed by the Düssel, and the shops under the plane trees and chestnuts.
This is not a picture of Düsseldorf. It is the Königsallee, built on the real map: all 77 buildings to the official survey, every tree where it grows, every shop under its own name, and the Rhine beyond. Walk it, buy a lot beside it, build on it.
Friedrich Coubillier’s Triton wrestles a fish on the rocks at the north end of the Kö-Graben. The avenue was laid out in 1804 on the line of the old town moat and named Königsallee in 1851.

Basilica minor · Altstadt
Consecrated in 1394. After a fire in 1815 the spire was rebuilt, and, probably because the timber was still wet, it twisted. After the war it was rebuilt twisted again, as the people of Düsseldorf wished.
Burgplatz
The tower of the old palace by the Rhine: three storeys from the 13th century, a fourth by Alessandro Pasqualini in 1552, a fifth by Friedrich August Stüler in 1845. The SchifffahrtMuseum has been inside since 1984.
Rathausufer
The Rhine’s clock: a Jugendstil turret on the promenade that tells the time and the water level, the long hand in metres, the short one in centimetres.
Köln-Düsseldorfer
The KD’s event ship, moored at the KD landing below the Burgplatz. The Köln-Düsseldorfer took her over in 2018 and renovated her throughout.
1 km. 77 buildings. 103 shops. One boulevard.
About a kilometre of water, stone and trees: the canal and its three bridges, the rows of planes and chestnuts, the lanterns, the pavement in front of the shops.
Every view on this page is a frame of the world itself, rendered in real time.
House by house, as OpenStreetMap lists the Königsallee today.
103 shops, each furnished to the last shelf: the vitrines, the rails, the counters, lit at dusk. Above them, 75 offices, reached by lift.
The shopping hall of the stadium district: boutiques on every side of a plaza, with fountains and café terraces, a step from the Merkur Spiel-Arena.
Furnished to the last shelf: the oak blocks, the lit walls, the pieces on display.
Where the real stadium stands, on the site of the old Rheinstadion. It opened in 2004, seats 54,600 for football and has a roof that closes. In META PULS, a seat for every ticket.
The full house, the match on the pitch: every seat can be sat in, every ticket takes you to yours.
Go to the arena →On the roof of the HOF, a cinema and a concert hall: 144 leather recliners before the screen, 540 velvet seats before the band shell. A seat for every ticket, the film on the screen, the show on the LED wall.
The concert hall on the roof: the curved rows, the stage, the light.
West of the old town, the river and its promenade: the Schlossturm, St. Lambertus with its twisted spire, the Pegeluhr, the Rheinturm of 240.5 metres and the Oberkasseler Brücke.
Then the lanterns on the Kö, the lit shop windows and, on the Rheinturm, the light clock telling the time. The same city, open all night.
Every figure comes from the world’s own data: what is drawn, where it stands.
Around the main streets, the city is open land on the real cadastre. Buy a lot, place Villa Linden or the Kontor Hof on it, and walk through every room in the browser.
