⭐ Welcome to Düsseldorf – a city of gleaming boutiques, carnival tradition, and one of Germany's most picturesque Rhine promenades. Yet behind this polished surface lie nine stories of snipers and serial killers, financial crime and pipe bombs, a brazen daytime robbery and an unsolved sixteenth-century case. This walk traces Düsseldorf's criminal history from the Rhine riverbank, where the architect of German reunification Detlev Karsten Rohwedder was assassinated, through the medieval squares of the Old Town and a notorious courthouse, along the Königsallee and into the Hofgarten, where the Vampire of Düsseldorf once hunted his victims, to a suburban train station that became the site of an unresolved xenophobic bombing attack. Every stop is a real place. Every case a true crime.
