THIS IS REISHOLZ!
Located around seven kilometres south-east of Düsseldorf city centre, Reisholz is a district with industrial DNA. Along with its neighbouring districts of Holthausen (home to Reisholz harbour and the Henkel headquarters) and Benrath, it shares the large industrial area in the south of Düsseldorf. At the same time, this relatively small district is changing: where the Vallourec Germany press works once dominated the townscape, numerous international logistics companies now stand alongside former factory housing. Nestled between factory sites, business parks and retail markets, the district is reinventing itself while remaining true to its history. This neighbourhood, where people live and work, is typical of Reisholz and is bypassed by heavy traffic. The district centre is Henkelstraße, which has shops for everyday needs. Culturally, there is also a lot going on: concerts, readings and courses are held in the Bürgerhaus, a former cinema. The district's silhouette is changing slowly but steadily. Reisholz is small, colourful – and has plenty of room for new things.

ABOUT THE TUBE
‘the tube’ was completed in early 2025: on the former site of the Vallourec Rohrwerke, a multifunctional industrial and commercial park covering around 77,000 square metres, equivalent to around 17 football pitches, has been created. In a central location, the tube is creating new space for state-of-the-art areas of various sizes with flexible usage options. Sustainability is a top priority, thanks to an intelligent heating system with state-of-the-art heat pump technology, a measurement system for optimised energy consumption and photovoltaic panels that supply a large part of the energy for the tenants.
