Neuer Zollhof (The New Zollhof), Dusseldorf
Neuer Zollhof, or The New Zollhof, is a Duesseldorf landmark that is part of the city's redeveloped port area. The building complex consists of three separate buildings with curved architecture to mimic leaning towers. Construction on the landmark was completed in 1998.
The New Zollhof was designed by architect Frank O. Gehry. He used a variety of materials to create a modern and unique visage. The central building, made from stainless steel, reflects the white plaster and red brick buildings on each side. Each tower has a different height with the west tower being that tallest at 14 stories.
This area on the waterfront was previously occupied by warehouses before it was redeveloped. The new focus of the New Zollhof is to provide public spaces for the residents of the city while also offering space for culture and art.
The buildings of New Zollhof have become popular with tourists who visit Duesseldorf.

Dusseldorf Introduction Walking Tour
The area at the confluence of the Rhine and Dussel rivers was on the outskirts of the Roman Empire and settled by Germanic fishing tribes. It is from these small beginnings that the town takes its name. "Dorf" translates to "village" in English.
