Oberbilk:
Oberbilk, where you feel ever-more drawn to the city centre than to Bilk itself, is undergoing major structural changes. The district’s historical centre, the Oberbilker Markt market, has changed its appearance enormously. Old industrial complexes, which once characterised a typical working-class district dating from the time of Germany’s rapid expansion, have now disappeared. Underground rail now provides a quick link to the city centre, and more and more service providers are moving in. Düsseldorf honours its twin towns in the area around the Haus der Wirtschaft. The streets are named after Moscow, Warsaw, Haifa and Reading. The underground stations are reminiscent of Moscow and Warsaw, and a statue of Pushkin donated by the city’s Russian twin town Moscow is the first sculpture in the area. However, in large parts of the district, the character of a working-class district remains. Immigrants from other countries who came here in search of work ensure a multicultural environment in the very best sense.
