Description:
- On the occasion of the 700th city jubilee in 1988, the home team 'Düsseldorfer Jonges' founded this monument commemorating the history of Dusseldorf. It was designed by sculptor Bert Gerresheim. At first sight, the monument looks confusing to onlookers. You have to read the monument from left to right like a book. For example, the helmets and breast plates are a reminder of the battle of Worringen in which Dusseldorf partook and achieved its rise to an independent city, the proud mountain lion which is positioned next to a market cart, a clue to the market rights acquired in 1288. In order to understand these and other symbolic depictions, visitors can obtain a brochure containing comprehensive explanations from the town hall.
