Düsseldorf, Ständehaus

@Ina: Thanks, Ina! One of the few buildings here that is allowed to make an impact because there's enough space around.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael!

@Observing: That roof is quite cool: I've been on an exhibition there, you have a great panoramic view from there.

@Japanalia: Thanks a lot! This roof is indeed remarkable, the panoramic view from there is really beautiful. I'll tell more about that statue in my next posting :)

@Anthony Lambert: Thanks! Like Munich, I sometime like to call Düsseldorf the 'Las Vegas of Germany', because it's a city that got its real importance not until the beginning of the 19th century. So there's not too much history here compared to cities like Cologne (or even smaller ones, like Neuss).

@Michael: Der Bau ist wirklich gelungen! Die Kunst, die dort ausgestellt wird, sagt mir zwar nicht immer etwas, aber Haus und umgebender Park bilden wirklich eine der wenigen schönen Ecken Düsseldorfs.

@Twelvebit: No, that was installed a few years ago. A very cool construction that allows a fine panoramic view.

@akarui: This building was abandoned for some years. Using it just for art exhibitions seems to be a stopgap to me - it's just too easy to place some voluminous works of art in there. Though it's a public building there are only a few people visiting this place.
