Lohausen

Whispers of history echo through the streets of Lohausen, a charming suburb in the north of Düsseldorf. Lohausen, first mentioned in 1147, has witnessed the ebb and flow of time. This tranquil neighborhood, bordering the mighty Rhine, was once home to the Knights of Kalcheim. Their legacy is etched in the very fabric of this place. Imagine those valiant knights, their armor gleaming in the sunlight, patrolling the very grounds where we stand today. Lohausen’s story is also intertwined with the rise of aviation. In 1927, the Düsseldorf Airport took flight from Lohausen, connecting this once-sleepy village to the world. The airport’s presence, while transforming Lohausen’s landscape, did not diminish its charm. The heart of Lohausen beats on, in its quaint houses, its historic St. Mariä Himmelfahrt church, and the sprawling Lantz’scher Park. This park, a verdant oasis amidst the urban sprawl, holds secrets of its own. Sculptures from different eras dot its pathways, whispering tales of art and history. As you wander through Lohausen, let your imagination soar with the planes overhead, and your footsteps trace the paths of knights and industrialists. Lohausen is a testament to the enduring spirit of history, nestled comfortably in the heart of modern Düsseldorf.
