Stadterhebungsmonument
The Stadterhebungsmonument in Düsseldorf is a dramatic bronze tableau that commemorates the city's elevation to official city status in 1288. Unveiled in 1988 to mark the 700th anniversary of this historic milestone, the monument was created by sculptor Bert Gerresheim and stands in the heart of the Altstadt near St. Lambertus Church. It vividly captures key moments from Düsseldorf’s early history, including the Battle of Worringen, which led Count Adolf V of Berg to grant city rights. The monument’s expressive figures—knights, clergy, and townspeople—are arranged in a dynamic, almost theatrical composition that invites close inspection. More than a historical marker, it’s a sculptural narrative of civic identity, resilience, and transformation. Today, it remains a popular stop for visitors exploring the city’s medieval roots.
