About Wersten
Where to stay in Wersten
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Wersten's record is churches and streets, so a room here sits in residential Düsseldorf rather than beside any visitor attraction, and most travellers keep their base nearer the city's core. The pull is quiet, not sights. St. Maria in den Benden and the Stephanuskirche mark the parts of the district a guest is most likely to walk to, and St. Maria Rosenkranz completes the trio.
About Wersten
What are the main landmarks in Wersten?
Wersten's landmark list runs to three names: St. Maria Rosenkranz, the Stephanuskirche and St. Maria in den Benden, the last of them sharing its name with the part of the district it stands in. None of them is a museum. What a walk through Wersten offers instead is the ordinary fabric of a Düsseldorf district: parish buildings, streets and the space between them.
What is the history of Wersten?
Wersten reaches the record through its churches rather than through any charter, and the three that stand in the district, St. Maria Rosenkranz, St. Maria in den Benden and the Stephanuskirche, are the fixtures it keeps. Its founding year went unwritten. The district belongs to Düsseldorf, and its four square kilometres carry streets and parish life rather than the monuments a centre collects.
Where is Wersten?
Wersten occupies about four square kilometres inside Düsseldorf, ground shared between housing and the three churches that mark it.
