Architecture Tours with Alex Iwan

Insights into one of the most distinctive city quarters of Düsseldorf. In guided tours with architecture expert Alex Iwan, the focus is on the origins, design and special features of Kö-Bogen.

Between the Libeskind buildings, Hofgarten and Königsallee, a new perspective on architecture, urban development and public space opens up. The diagonal cuts of the façade, the floating gardens and the urban idea of Kö-Bogen become tangible — on site, in conversation, with the original in view.

The dates fall on two Thursdays starting at 17:00. Afterwards, the Salsa night from 18:00 takes over in the same area — an easy transition.

Anyone who wants to truly understand Kö-Bogen sets off on a discovery tour with Alex Iwan. The architecture expert leads visitors through one of Düsseldorf's most distinctive quarters on two Thursdays.

She explains what makes the award-winning architecture of Daniel Libeskind so special: the striking façade of glass and white natural stone, the diagonal cuts on the north and west sides and the floating gardens of Königsallee. On the roughly one-hour walk, city history, design details and anecdotes combine into a vivid picture of the modern landmark. The meeting point is the Breuninger main entrance. Participation is free, registration required — ideal for architecture enthusiasts, Düsseldorf visitors and anyone who wants to look behind the façade.
