Düsseldorf Health Tourism GCC

Welcome Dear Readers, Düsseldorf’s great attractiveness is evident in the fact that the number of visitors discovering our city has significantly risen recently. Increasingly, these visitors are patients from outside Germany who come to Düsseldorf for the sake of their health, to undergo treatment. This is no surprise, given that Düsseldorf has an exceptionally diverse medical infrastructure. Numerous hospitals, specialist clinics and doctors possess not only an excellent reputation but are also aligned to the needs of international guests. Renowned doctors and highly qualified specialist staff attend to the well-being of their patients from all over the world. In Düsseldorf, the necessity of medical treatment can be happily com- bined with the pleasurable: As a modern and innovative health location, our beautiful city on the Rhine also rates highly in terms of its amenities and quality of life, as is repeatedly confirmed by its top rankings in international surveys. The illustrious corporate consultancy, Mercer, for instance, has named Düsseldorf the sixth most liveable city in the world. Düsseldorf is worth visiting for its cosmopolitan, hospitable atmosphere, its exclusive shopping experience – on the famous shopping street, Königsallee, for example – or its wide range of cultural options, such as the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, one of the leading theatres in the German-speaking region, and the Kunstpalast art museum, which reg- ularly stages widely acclaimed exhibitions. Thanks to the city’s central location in the heart of Europe and its important international airport, Düsseldorf can be reached quickly and conveniently. On the following pages, you can inform yourself about Düsseldorf and its medical services, and find tips and practical advice about staying in our city. Come to Düsseldorf! As a patient, you will be in the best hands, and we will give you a very warm welcome. Yours, Thomas Geisel Mayor of the state capital Düsseldorf 3

Düsseldorf – only the best for your health on the Rhine A famous Frenchman visited Düsseldorf over 200 years ago. On seeing the beautiful city, Napoleon gasped: “C’est petit Paris.” Today, Little Paris has become a dynamic yet manageably sized metropolis with international fair. Today, the state capital Düsseldorf is home to over 600,000 very contented inhabitants – because the Rhine metropolis regularly ranks among the leaders in international quality-of- life surveys. The combination of diverse cultural options, the region’s excellent leisure amenities, fantastic international cuisine, many leading companies and its central location in the heart of Europe make Düsseldorf the perfect place to live. That goes not only for locals but, of course, also for our many guests. The city on the Rhine features short distances, a gigantic range of different shops, first-class hotels, award-winning restaurants, a hospitable atmosphere and all the charms a big city has to offer with none of the frantic bustle. If one none- theless needs a little break, a stroll along the Rhine embank- ment promenade is the ideal way to relax. Strolling on the sunny side, one can enjoy the panoramic view of the mighty, meandering river with its three great bridges. Back in the Altstadt (Old Town), one can dive back into the lively cheer of Rhenish joie de vivre. Every conceivable delicacy is on sale at the market on Carlsplatz. Just a stone’s throw from there is the world-famous shopping street, Königsallee. It is home to international luxury labels and exclusive boutiques as well as art galleries, illustrious hotels and cafés. Art and culture play a special role in Düsseldorf. The Kunst- akademie was founded in 1773. Artists such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Andreas Gursky studied and taught here. Meanwhile, the Kunstsammlung NRW art collection offers offer world-class exhibitions and the Museum Kunst- palast shows paintings by artists ranging from Rubens to Kandinsky. Deutsche Oper am Rhein guarantees an out- standing opera experience, while the Tonhalle is home to the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra. Those who prefer it a little quieter can visit Schloss Benrath (Benrath Palace), a rococo gem with an imposing park. The MedienHafen features excit- ing modern architecture, most notably the striking buildings designed by Frank O. Gehry, who was also responsible for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. 8

The heart of the city The Altstadt (Old Town) has always been Düsseldorf’s heart. In the narrow lanes of the city centre, there is a vibrant sense of life and happiness. This area is jam-packed with cafés, fashion boutiques, art museums and Düsseldorf’s famous Altstadt (Old Town) restaurants. There are over 260 eateries in Düsseldorf’s Altstadt (Old Town), crammed into an area of under half a square kilo- metre. Locals and tourists from all over the world come to- gether here to soak up the distinctive atmosphere of the Alt- stadt (Old Town) that is celebrated in many songs. Because Düsseldorf’s Altstadt (Old Town) has been a melting pot for all social classes for centuries. Where people once traded and struck deals, locals and visitors now come together in their leisure hours to shop and eat. Those who start feeling peckish in the Altstadt (Old Town) re- ally don’t need to worry – the many narrow streets are home to numerous cosy restaurants while on Carlsplatz, there are lots of food stalls offering culinary specialities. There is something for every taste here, from Rhenish soup kitchen to handmade pasta and unusual steak specialities to magnifi- cent patisserie. Apart from that, the market also sells tradi- tional products such as brushes and baskets, and gorgeous flowers, and also has wonderful fruit and veg stalls. Those who prefer modern shopping will love Flinger Straße and Mittelstraße, which are lined with international fashion brands. There is something for everybody here, be it leather shoes, bags, trainers, hip streetwear or cosmetics. The quiet part of the otherwise bustling Altstadt (Old Town) is at the northern end. On peaceful Stiftsplatz in front of St. Lamber- tus Church, there is a sense of having gone back in time, to the days when Düsseldorf truly was still a village. Burgplatz offers a beautiful view of the Schlossturm (palace tower) and St. Lambertus. The bronze sculpture “Die Aus- einandersetzung” (The Dispute) is a popular subject for photos. Cosy cafés and restaurants line the narrow streets. 11

Düsseldorf – only the best for your health Düsseldorf is Germany’s fashion capital, which is why the city centre can also quickly transform into a catwalk. Thanks to the lush ranks of trees, the Kö (Königsallee) is a lovely, green place for a stroll. There are few shopping streets in Germany whose names are as resonant and legendary as Königsallee. Framed by overhanging plane trees, the grand Kö boulevard is lined with luxury boutiques, shopping malls and elegant hotels. At one time, the Kö was known as Kastanienallee because it was lined with magnificent chestnut trees. However, in 1848 the King of Prussia, Frederick William IV, announced a visit to Düsseldorf – then a quite sleepy town. Enraged by what they saw as unjust Prussian edicts, the populace gave the king an anarchic welcome – pelting him with horse dung. One such missile is even said to have actually hit his coat. To restore the city to the king’s good graces, Kastanienallee was swiftly renamed “Königsallee” (King’s Avenue). Today, the Kö is one of Europe’s leading luxury shopping streets and, measuring 87 metres across, it is also Germany’s widest street. There are many French and Italian fashion and couture houses here, particularly at the upper end of the Kö. Fashionistas will truly find every luxury brand that their hearts desire. One can also soak up the Kö’s distinctive charm at one of the many pavement cafés. Simply take a seat at one of the pavement cafés, order a latte or a sundae, and watch people strolling past. Then it’s almost like a fashion show. At the northern end, you will come to magnificent Corneliusplatz, the opera house and Hofgarten – Germany’s oldest public park. These delights are followed by the Kö- Bogen with an architectural highlight: the proposed structure designed by star architect Daniel Libeskind is a further shop- ping highlight housing many international brands and sublime dining. At the same time, this ensemble forms the end of the splendid boulevard. Königsallee is not only a street for taking a stroll, however – during the summer months it is constantly changing. It is namely here in the shadow of the overhanging plane trees that the “Bücherbummel” book fair, the Gourmet Festival and sporting events such as the “Rund um die Kö” bicycle race or the marathon take place. Königsallee also has much to offer in cultural terms, as it is home to high-calibre galleries, which exhibit art by world-famous artists. The whole world of art is on display here, from the works of the old masters to modern classics and from abstract expressionism to contemporary art. 12

Düsseldorf – only the best for your health MedienHafen The rehabilitation of the old port is one of Düsseldorf’s most spectacular projects. Over the last 30 years star architects such as Renzo Piano, Helmut Jahn, David Chipperfield and Frank Gehry have immortalised themselves with modern buildings. What makes the MedienHafen special is its architectural diversity, which produces a creative connection with the river and shipping. The buildings have distinctive names such as Wolkenbügel (Cloud Iron), Sign! or The Living Bridge. One of the most beautiful viewing points in Düsseldorf is Pebble’s Terrace, behind which one can see the luxurious Hyatt Hotel. You can take a seat here beside the UFO-like pavilion – clad with aluminium shingles – and drink a sundowner. A truly premium spot where you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the city and the river. The Gehry buildings are extremely popular with Instagrammers, pho- tographers and photography courses. In fact, there is always someone taking a picture here. The three swaying towers in white, silver and red are the most eye-catching feature of the MedienHafen. Tilted walls, warped towers, windows canted within the walls – every detail is worth a photo. The Cali- fornian architect Frank O. Gehry, who previously designed the spectacular Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, bestowed a magnificent gift on Düsseldorf. The ensemble – mainly home to advertisers, lawyers and architects – is known as the Neuer Zollhof. Düsseldorf’s marina is located to the front in the harbour basin. As everywhere in Düsseldorf, art is not far away either. In a former warehouse at Kai 10, the Arthena Foundation offers an ambitious exhibition programme featur- ing young, international art. The best view of Düsseldorf and the surrounding region is from the Rheinturm (Rhine tower). The city’s highest building at 240.5 metres stands at the entrance to the MedienHafen. Apart from its viewing platform, it also houses a restaurant. The view can be seen from every angle because a mechan- ism allows the restaurant to rotate 360 degrees every 72 minutes. There are also many restaurants and bars below at the harbour basin ranging from vegetarian to French bistro cuisine to burger joints. Two particular highlights are the Res- taurant Lido, housed in a glass cube in the middle of the har- bour basin, and Berens am Kai, which boasts a Michelin star. 14

Rococo in Benrath Schloss Benrath (Benrath Palace) is a real gem. This enchanting rococo pleasure palace is an ensemble of palace, lakes and a beautiful park. Visitors are strongly recommended to talk a stroll through the park, soaking up the rococo splendour. Elector Karl Theodor had the hunting and garden palace built in Benrath between 1755 and 1773. The aim of creating an overall composition of architecture, garden art and sculpture is typical of the rococo period just before the transition to neoclassicism. The palace is highly distinctive in the Rhine- land as very few baroque and rococo palaces were built in this region. The architect was Nicolas de Pigage, the “In- tendant of the gardens and waterworks” at the Mannheim royal court. The palace’s magnificent exterior is best seen from the city side. The central building – the corps de logis – was the living quarters of the elector and his wife. From the outside, the single-storey structure seems almost modest. Behind the façade, however, one will discover a sophisticated, clever- ly structured system of 80 rooms, two atriums and seven staircases, spread over four floors. This produces a surprising effect as was particularly popular in architecture and garden art of the time. The idea was that visitors would only notice the spaciousness and grandeur when they entered. Guided tours of the corps de logis are available. Guests are only per- mitted to enter wearing felt slippers in order to protect the extremely valuable flooring, which is also fun to slide on. The world’s first Museum of Garden Art has been housed in the east wing since 2002. In summer, the inner courtyard, with its collection of ancient citrus trees, is a lovely place to relax for a while. The great palace garden is worth a visit at any time of the year. After a long, enjoyable stroll, the Schloss-Café offers fortification. Benrath’s cosy town centre is also home to pleasant restaurants and cafés, as well as Bistro Kombu, which is probably the city’s best Japanese snack bar. 17

Düsseldorf – only the best for your health More than 450 concerts with audiences of over 300,000 people every year make the Tonhalle a fantastic culture forum and a space where people come together. Nam June Paik’s video work “Fish Flies on Sky” is best viewed while lying on your back. Düsseldorf is not only the state capital but also the cultural capital, because it is home to world-class museums, exhibitions, opera and theatre. Then there’s the city’s long artistic tradition. Art and culture are visible everywhere in the Düsseldorf cityscape – they are essentially part of the city’s DNA. Düsseldorf’s roots as an art metropolis date back to 1690 and Elector Johann Wilhelm, affectionately known as Jan Wellem. This enlightened ruler and his wife, Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici, made the then sleepy town on the Rhine into a centre of art and culture. Today, with its many museums, galleries and art in public spaces, Düsseldorf still occupies a special position because nowhere else is an involvement with art so deeply rooted as here. The Kunstsammlung NRW shows 20th and 21st century art, the Kunsthalle’s ultra-modern exhibitions have their finger on the pulse, the NRW-Forum specialises in contemporary photography, while the Kunstpalast is worth a visit simply to see the temporary exhibitions and a Rubens collection that was created by Jan Wellem. The paintings, graphic art, sculp- tures and glass objects in the museum’s collection range from the ancient world to the 21st century. Visitors have a chance to assess the future development of contemporary art at the annual tour of the renowned Kunstakademie. This is where tomorrow’s stars of the art scene are on show. The “in orbit” installation by Tomás Saraceno at the K21 Stände haus is very interesting, particularly for youngsters. Some 2,500 square metres of transparent steel nets extend high above the piazza. It is not only the visual but also the per- forming arts that are represented in Düsseldorf. At the beauti- ful Tonhalle there are regular concerts by composers ranging from Bach to Beethoven, and Brahms to Bruckner. Deutsche Oper am Rhein is famed both for its operas and its highly acclaimed ballet company. At the Tanzhaus NRW too, one can see dance of the highest standard. In addition, the Schauspiel- haus is considered to be one of the leading German-language theatres. And with the new Wehrhahn line, Düsseldorf has even turned underground stations into works of art. 20

Meyer-Falcke: When one considers the German cities that might be suitable for health tourism, on the basis of pure facts alone, Düsseldorf must be mentioned. Firstly because there are 15 top-class hospitals here which deal with virtually every imaginable illness. As the Commissioner for Health, I am therefore confident that there is hardly any illness for which high-quality treatment is not available in Düsseldorf. “We have no fewer than 15 top-class hospitals here which deal with virtually every imaginable illness.” Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Falcke, Commissioner for Human Resources, IT, Health and Civil Service of the state capital Düsseldorf Friedrich: Certainly, hospitals and clinics need to have the right phys- icians practising in them and provide good medical care. In addition, special demands are placed on healthcare facili- ties by the health tourism target group – ranging from language to cultural issues. The hospital and the physicians must be prepared for these eventualities. Meyer-Falcke: Other cities have good hospitals too. However, what we also have to offer in Düsseldorf as a unique selling point is what must be the great- est density of five-star hotels in such a small area. Then there is the city’s attractiveness as a luxury shopping des- tination with everything in easy reach. This image also impacts on the hospi- tals. And, of course, vice versa – the attract iveness of the medical infrastruc- ture reflects well on Düsseldorf. Friedrich: In the premium segment – for example, the InterContinental, the Hyatt, the Medici, the Steigenberger and the Breidenbacher – we have an outstanding, modern hotel infrastruc- ture. That is important, and not only for patients but particularly for the patient’s travelling companions who have the opportunity to turn their stay into a cultural and shopping experience. There are many cities with great hospitals but the infrastructure around them tends to be dull. Furthermore, in Düsseldorf one can travel quickly from the airport to the city or, the other way around, fly off for a quick break in, say, London. “The patient’s travelling companions, in particular, have the opportunity to turn their stay into a cultural and shopping experience.” Ole Friedrich, Managing Director, Düsseldorf Tourismus Meyer-Falcke: That is exactly the point. When I visit my son-in-law in the USA, I spend three-and-a-half hours just trav- elling through Los Angeles from the air- port. Here, in the same time, I can travel almost as far as Berlin from my office. Friedrich: We have put this important information and the benefits onto a website and this magazine. We don’t recommend any doctor or clinic in this publication but the market players can present themselves to the target group in such a way that the latter gets a com- prehensive picture of what is available. The health tourism summit Meyer-Falcke: I think it’s good that Düsseldorf Tourismus is engaging with this subject. Hotel associations always look at the issue from the perspective of hotel managers. And naturally there are also associations of hospital directors who tend to have a medical take on the subject. However, from the point of view of those who come here as patients, both have to be brought together. But that can only be done by an outsider such as Düsseldorf Tourismus. Friedrich: And we are doing it out of passion because, naturally, we can see the potential growth in this premium segment. We are addressing a well-to- do target group, and for these patients it is important that they can discuss medical issues in their native languages. The overall experience from flight to hotel transfer to hotel stay and hospital treatment must be absolutely smooth and pleasant. Ole Friedrich has been the Managing Director of Düsseldorf Tourismus GmbH since 2018. Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Falcke has been the Commissioner for Human Resources, IT, Health and Civil Service in Düsseldorf since 2012. 27
