Düsseltal

Düsseltal's neighboring quarters are, clockwise from the north: Rath, Grafenberg, Flingern, and Derendorf.

[2] There was a low population density in the region between Düsseldorf (proper) and Grafenberg until the end of the 19th century.

Jan Wellem, Elector Palantine, donated the Speckerhöfe to the Cistercian monks of Orval who founded a priory in 1701.

According to legend it was financed in part by the sale of "original" Eau de Cologne made with water taken from the Düssel.

Düsseltal is home to the Düsseldorfer EG, today known as DEG Metro Stars, an ice hockey club that won six German championships.
