Highlights
“Art and magic in a German metro” was the headline of the New York Times on the occasion of the opening of the 3.4-kilometer-long weir tap line. The laying of the tracks underground has not only relieved the city of traffic. The art city of Düsseldorf is opening up a new terrain with the underground. In what a fascinating way, you'll find out on this tour! 6 subway stations*, 6 artists, according to the design concept. In cooperation with the city, architects and engineers, the former students of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf have succeeded in embedding art in the daily lives of more than 50,000 passengers – with completely different ideas. Here the subway station becomes a sound world, there a space station and at the next stop a steel poem awaits you – or a mystery? Discover yourself as a protagonist and learn how the “continuum” also connects the individual stations aesthetically. Art on the whole (Wehrhahn) line!

Ablauf
The new Wehrhahn line is one of the special attractions of the city of Düsseldorf. The design concept for the six underground stations was developed by network architects Darmstadt and the artists Heike Klussmann (Pempelforter Straße), Ursula Damm (Schadowstraße), Ralf Brög (Heinrich-Heine-Allee), Thomas Stricker (Benrather Straße), Manuel Franke (Graf-Adolf-Platz) and Enne Haehnle (Kirchplatz) developed and implemented together with the engineers. Each station has an individual character that has painterly, sculptural, interactive, tonal or geometric qualities. The route itself was realized as an underground space continuum, similar to a snake that expands at every station. "Art and Magic in a German Metro" - this is how the New York Times describes this spectacular subway line. The six new underground stations are reached by underground: Pempelforter Straße / Schadowstraße / Heinrich-Heine-Allee / Benrather Straße / Graf-Adolf-Platz / Kirchplatz (end)

About Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is a Rhineland city of art, fashion and business, with a riverside promenade, an old town of brewpubs and modern harbour architecture.
Düsseldorf spreads along the east bank of the Rhine, and the riverside promenade below the Old Town is where the city gathers. The Altstadt is packed with brewpubs serving altbier, a dark copper beer, and is nicknamed the longest bar in the world. Close by, the Rheinturm television tower rises above the Medienhafen, a former harbour now lined with sculptural buildings by Frank Gehry and other architects.
