Stadtbezirk 5 is Düsseldorf's northern borough, a district of striking contrasts. Its southern reaches host Düsseldorf Airport, the Messe trade fair grounds, and the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA multifunctional stadium. Yet its northern neighborhoods — Kaiserswerth, Wittlaer, Angermund, and Kalkum — are dominated by forests, agriculture, and charming suburban villages. Kaiserswerth's medieval town center and Stockum's 1930s villa quarter add historical depth. The borough ranks among the wealthiest in Düsseldorf.
The proximity to Düsseldorf Airport and Messe makes Stadtbezirk 5 strategic for international businesses, logistics firms, and trade fair-dependent companies. Stockum hosts professional services near the fair grounds. The Lohausen area has airport-related businesses. Flexible office and coworking solutions serve business travelers and companies requiring airport accessibility.
Düsseldorf Airport is the borough's transport anchor, with its own S-Bahn station (S1, S11), SkyTrain monorail, and long-distance rail connections. U-Bahn lines U78 and U79 serve Stockum and connect to the city center. The A44 and A52 motorways provide road access. Kaiserswerth is reachable by bus and U79 tram along the Rhine.
The medieval Kaiserswerth Ruins — remnants of Emperor Barbarossa's 12th-century Rhine palace — are the borough's historic highlight. The MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA hosts Fortuna Düsseldorf football and major concerts. Düsseldorf Airport is a landmark in itself. Kalkum Castle is a Baroque moated palace. The Angermund forest provides recreational space.
Best for business travelers, logistics professionals, trade fair exhibitors, and international companies needing direct airport access combined with the option of quieter, suburban workspaces in one of Düsseldorf's most affluent areas.
