Düsseldorf-Garath

Garath (German pronunciation: [ˈga:ʁaːt]) is a suburb of Düsseldorf, Germany, south of the city centre and part of Borough 10.

[2] Garath adjoins the Düsseldorf suburbs of Urdenbach to the north-west, Benrath to the north and Hellerhof to the south.

To the east lies Hilden a town in Mettmann district and to the southwest is Monheim am Rhein, part of Langenfeld.

In the mid-1950s, the Düsseldorf local authority initiated a building programme to provide 8,000 homes south of Benrath.

This has led to southern parts of Garath having a higher than average proportion of lower income, immigrant and unemployed residents.
