Every two years, art-loving volunteers organize the "40 Grad Urbanart Festival" Their goal: to beautify a place in Dusseldorf. Officially with the permission of the city and other concerned owners. Sometimes it is a building that is to be demolished a little later - as last on Schadowplatz, where now the Kö-Bogen II and the Ingenhoven valley were created or just like in this video at the 40 Grad Urban Art Festival in September 2019. There were 70 individual artists and crews painting and spraying. They have turned the area around the memorial at the former Derendorfer Güterbahnhof into a gallery. In the immediate vicinity, the Nazis abducted and deported more than 6,000 jewish people during the Nazi regime. They were brouhgt to the ghetto Theresienstadt and the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. The artists could - but did not have to - include the topic in their art. The result is colorful and gray, happy and thoughtful, funny and sad graffiti on Toulouser Allee under the bridge Jülicher Straße in Duesseldorf-Derendorf. Where and when the next 40 Grad Urbanart Festival starts, you'll see on our website www.videoguide-duesseldorf.de as soon as they announce it.
Videoguide Düsseldorf:
On our channel we present the Top Sightseeing Spots and Top Events in Dusseldorf. These are both, the tourist highlights, which you should not be missing in any city tour or city trip, but also the small hidden insider tips that only the locals know. We show urban art, museums, architecture, street partys, parks, Shopping opportunities and monuments. We show you where there are concerts, and where are the best sports events. We show what is worth seeing in Dusseldorf. With videos, it is much easier to see whether a sight is really worth a visit, or rather not. We refrain from restaurant tips, as there are already many food blogs about Dusseldorf. And, to be honest, we have so many good restaurants, bars and cafes in Düsseldorf - even as locals we would not know where to start. Fact is: If you come to Germany, come to Duesseldorf.
