Stadterhebungsmonument is one of Düsseldorf’s most impressive public sculptures. The bronze monument is incredibly detailed and tells the story of the city’s beginnings and the year 1288, so you can discover new scenes every time you look closer. It’s a great photo spot in the Old Town and worth a short stop while walking around Burgplatz. Take a minute to read the inscriptions/plaques to fully appreciate the historical context.

Very nice and beautiful area.

Between the basilica and the old town there is an interesting sculpture. Apparently it's a memorial for the city receiving the rights, though without context everyone could create his own story. Depending on the angle you look at it there are other details to see.

Very impressive sculpture.

The details on this sculpture are insane. If you take your time to inspect this piece you will keep finding more and more. A big applause to the city for maintaining this sculpture so well. The fact it's from the 13th century speaks a lot. When I went there it was well kept and clean. I think a lot of people will miss this or don't take their time to enjoy this sculpture just because it's in free public sight. Which is a pity. You really should come take a look.
