Creative working area in the media harbour

The Media Centre of Düsseldorf (MZD) is situated in the heart of the city’s media harbour, which is probably the most fascinating and innovative district of the provincial capital of Düsseldorf. The unique atmosphere is created in combination with harbour elements that are protected as historic monuments plus an ensemble of modern architectural highlights, created by some of the most important architects of the present day. The media harbour is the top address for many successful companies from the fields of media, communications, fashion, architecture, art and culture. Situated directly at the heart of the city, the unique flair of this trendy district attracts a top-level international public.

Highlights

Atmospheric

Surrounded by modern architecture and the pulsating life of the media harbour, the MZD offers an inspiring lifestyle atmosphere. At lunchtime, a wide-ranging gastronomic selection, partly in the district itself and partly in the direct vicinity. 44 restaurants all within a radius of 500 metres, 11 bars and 5 hotels ensure plenty of variation and short distances. That makes the fostering of social and business contacts in the right atmosphere and in the seamless connection to the working day just as pleasant as uncomplicated.

Optimum connections

The MZD is situated in the direct neighbourhood of Düsseldorf city centre with its legendary Königsallee shopping street and many other highlights. Thanks to its central position in the city and the region, it is excellently connected traffic-wise in all directions. By car, there is a quick connection to the B1 and B7 main roads and to the A3, A44, A52 and A57 motorways, the main railway station and the airport, which can be reached in less than 15 minutes. The underground parking in the building offers plenty of space. Local destinations can be reached quickly and easily by tram.

Future-oriented

As a high-grade, constantly modernised building, the MZD is technically state of the art and optimally equipped for the future. In addition, it offers high development potential – above all in economically attractive fields such as offices, restaurants and events.

Open for development

The adaptably designed architecture from BM+P Beucker, Maschlanka+Partner offers, alongside traditional office concepts, all possibilities for the fast creation of new working worlds in the new work style. This ensures a modern utilisation mix and the creation of meeting places with an attractive campus character.

History and facilities

When, in the 1970s, the harbour area in Düsseldorf was made smaller, the focus moved to the old Rhine harbour because of its proximity to the inner city. In the 1980s, a start was made here to convert the customs port into a yacht harbour and build the new Federal State Parliament. Other projects included the 240 metre high Rhine tower and the WDR television studios.

In the 1990s, famous international architects such as Frank O. Gehry (Neuer Zollhof building), David Chipperfield (Kaistraße Studios) and Steven Holl, as well as leading regional architects designed a number of spectacular buildings. In this phase (1995) the MZD was also built, designed by BM+P Beucker, Maschlanka+Partner.

Until now, the unique flair of the media harbour has been dominated by the artistic contrast between modern architecture and elements of the old port such as quay walls, cranes, stairways and railway tracks. It is not surprising that this district has attracted numerous key companies from the media, communications, art, culture, fashion and naturally the architectural scene. It is today one of the office, residential and lifestyle locations most in demand, and, thanks to its cultural and culinary delights, attracts numerous tourists, year in, year out.
