Hostel DJH in Düsseldorf

In Düsseldorf, you can experience modern architecture firsthand if you stay at the local hostel, which was established ten years ago based on the winning design by the Hahn Helten studio. Despite its representative appearance, spaciousness, rich amenities, and high-quality materials, you don’t need to dig deep into your pockets to gain an unforgettable architectural experience for just 30 euros.
The new youth hostel is located at the northern foot of the Rheinkniebrücke bridge (Bridge in the Rhine Bend) leading from the Düsseldorf district of Heerdt to the revitalized MedienHafen port. The hostel consists of two parts connected by a glass corridor. The first part is a three-story linear structure made of exposed brick, topped with a gently sloped roof that harmoniously connects to the existing urban fabric. In contrast, the four-story block with a copilit façade and flat roof has the character of a solitaire situated amid greenery. The completely glazed ground floor allows free passage from the restaurant to a semi-open courtyard. The hostel is located on the banks of the Rhine's floodplain, which emphasizes its recreational character while also providing pedestrian accessibility to the historic center of Düsseldorf. The hostel stands at the site where, before World War I, there was a leisure restaurant named Rheinlust and seeks to forget the infamous period when a military hospital and a youth hostel named after the Nazi criminal Joseph Goebbels were located here.
