Golzheim

Started in 1947, the annual Düsseldorf Trade Fair was held in Golzheim in the Ehrenhof complex, until the new exhibition grounds were built next to the airport in 1971.

Since 1958 Golzheim is the place of the New Synagogue of Düsseldorf, which is the religious center for about 7.500 members of the local Jewish community, the third largest in Germany.

Originally called "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park", the Rheinpark Golzheim is not a classical park, but is more of a greenbelt, 24 hectares, between Cecilienallee and the Rhine, from the Oberkassel bridge to the Theodor Heuss bridge, with arranged copses of trees and plenty of open lawn for sunbathing and amateur volleyball games.

The Circus Roncalli is located year-round in the park, and in the summer a local brewery sponsors an open-air cinema.
