Work only started in July 2011  on a new city district called Heinrich Heine Gardens on Hansaallee between Oberkassel and Heerdt, but you can already get an impressive picture of what it will look like when it’s finished in 2013, thanks to a life-sized temporary cladding called the Hollywood-Fassade.

Inspired by Düsseldorf’s most famous poet Heinrich Heine’s love of nature, some 313 new flats, loft apartments, town houses and city villas for sale or rent are being built on 3.75 hectares by the development company Frankonia.

The project has its own landscape garden concept that will create spacious green areas with a central plaza, water basin, private gardens and pretty parks.
The buildings and park areas are named after Heine’s contemporaries and his works. This residential oasis is rounded off with apartment balconies, rooftop terraces, a concierge, an on-site lounge and a modern health and beauty area.
