Living with character – exceptional, private, and timeless

Located on the outskirts of the popular major city of Düsseldorf and directly on the Rhine, Urdenbach is an exceptionally nature-oriented district. The present-day Am Rittersberg site lies immediately beside the Baumberger Graben, which, as part of the Urdenbach Old Rhine arm, encloses the Urdenbacher Kämpe nature reserve and floodplain in a wide arc. The former Urdenbach ring-kiln brickworks stood at the same location; it was founded in 1897 on Kammerrathsfeldstraße. The brickworks was one of approximately 40 brickworks forming a belt around the Düsseldorf urban area from the late 19th century onward and supplying the enormous demand for building materials generated by the city’s steady growth. After brick production ended in the 1960s, a sports and green area was created on the former brickworks site, followed by the terraced-house development in the 1970s, which directly adjoins the untamed nature reserve. The nearby Rhine, the adjacent Rhine meadows and Benrath Palace Park with its extensive grounds invite residents to enjoy walks and bicycle tours. Numerous sports and leisure activities, including tennis, horseback riding and football, are also available in the immediate vicinity. The high quality of life in this sought-after location on the Rhine is further enhanced by a well-stocked and varied retail offering, the idyllic weekly market in Benrath and a broad range of restaurants. Doctors in all specialties, Benrath Hospital, and kindergartens and schools with various educational focuses are located nearby. Annette von Droste Hülshoff Grammar School and Benrath Palace Grammar School enjoy an excellent reputation. Particularly noteworthy is the outstanding infrastructure, which meets all requirements for modern residential living and quality of life. Convenient connections to Düsseldorf and Cologne city centres, the airport and the economic centres along the Rhine and Ruhr make this a highly sought-after residential location.
