Stadtbezirk 6 encompasses the northeastern neighborhoods of Rath, Mörsenbroich, Unterrath, and Lichtenbroich. Once shaped by agriculture and later by the Mannesmann tube works that arrived in 1897, the borough has evolved into a diverse residential and commercial area. Mörsenbroich surprises with its range from municipal housing to luxury villas and the striking ARAG Tower designed by Norman Foster. The borough offers affordable living and working close to the airport while retaining pockets of suburban charm.
Stadtbezirk 6 has transitioned from heavy industry to service-sector employment. Rath retains some industrial heritage with commercial and logistics businesses. Mörsenbroich hosts the ARAG insurance headquarters in the Norman Foster-designed tower. Lichtenbroich benefits from airport proximity for logistics companies. Affordable office rents attract small businesses and startups looking for cost-effective alternatives to central locations.
The S-Bahn station Rath Mitte provides connections on S1, S6, and S68 lines to the Hauptbahnhof in about 10 minutes and to the airport in 5 minutes. U-Bahn line U72 serves Mörsenbroich and connects to the city center. Multiple bus and tram lines cover the borough. Lichtenbroich is minutes from Düsseldorf Airport by road.
The ARAG Tower, a 125-meter skyscraper designed by Norman Foster, is the borough's architectural highlight. Mörsenbroich hosts one of Düsseldorf's largest allotment garden colonies. The Rath market square preserves a small-town atmosphere. The Aaper Wald forest on the eastern border provides extensive green recreational space for hiking and cycling.
Ideal for cost-conscious freelancers, small businesses, and logistics professionals who need affordable workspace with good airport access and S-Bahn connections — without the premium pricing of central Düsseldorf.
