      Great video as always. Im kinda curious how did Dusseldorf come to be such a huge Japanese hub in Germany? Now I'm more motivated to try and get a job there 😊

      Really useful video, thank you 🙏☺ My husband and I are planning on finding a job in Düsseldorf and moving there one day, so this information helps to understand where to settle!

      Nice! I love Kaiserswerth! I agree, the areas around the HBF are a bit crummy, i live in Flingern Süd. But, my building is ok, clean and with a well-maintained lift. My miete is reasonable, and I can walk to HBF when i need to go to the office. With the crazy high rents and any available flats getting snatched within minutes, people should consider other areas like Duisburg or even Essen.

      You depiction of Düsseldorf is spot on with my experience. It is a very lively place with a very good work/life balance, friendly people and it has a great economy.
      Soon you will also find plenty of parking when Cologne gets demolished and turned into a parking lot for guests to visit Düsseldorf #April1st

      Congratulations for this amazing place to live in!
      I grew up in the southern end of Duisburg and what I loved the most, take the bicycle or motorbike in the Summer and meet up with friends in the most romantic and historic Kaiserswerth.
      Playing frisbee on the Rhein meadows or having picknicks, barbecue and ending the evening at the Burghof, with candlelight, overlooking the Rhine, watching the ships go by … walking though these medival alleys … brings back so many beautiful memories.😍
      Going into the city by U79, car goes in a flash, so you now have the best of both worlds and the airport is just next door, but not in the flight path, so no noise … perfect location.
      I live in Munich now since almost 25 years and whenever I considered possibly going back to be closer to the family, I had Kaiserswerth on my mind. ❤

      I'd like to point outn that Dusseltal, despite being in the second district, also has a vibe of a calm family residential area. It's 10-15 minutes to the Heinrich-Heine U Bahn station, so close to the 'fun zone' but still calm and not too loud. Grafenberg is 20-30min by walk, which leaves nature relatively close to it, + the zoo park is great.

      Glad you mentioned Benrath with the pink castle (You can guess the reason 😉 Hellerhof I still remeber being a flat piece of mud until they started building it. Garath in my youth was devided in the "good part" and the "bad part" because the highway and train line basically splits it into two parts.
      For the most family friendly town I would recommend Monheim, which is the self-proclaimd captial of the most children friendly town in Germany. It's in the "Speckgürtel" of Düsseldorf, an own town with city rights just touching the southern districts of Düsseldorf with a population below 50k (Disclaimer: I was raised there)

      I live with my partner in Düsseldorf-Hassels close to the Unterbacher See. It is definitely not a hip area and nothing is going on here; however, having walking access to the lake is a big benefit. We'll consider Keiserwerth for a more "city-like" experience whilst having nature around us. Thanks for the video! 👍

      great video as always 🙂 as I see this video and hear you both mention Dusseldorf is very safe, a notification from Antenne Düsseldorf pops with "DÜSSELDORF: ZAHL DER STRAFTATEN 2023 DEUTLICH ANGESTIEGEN" 🙁

      Guys do you mind enlightening us on two things,
      1. How Work council works in an organization (small, large and medium based companies) how do I reach out to them.
      2. How unemployment benefits work in case one gets fired. In what case we will not be eligible to claim it.
      I am not under any threat, but just want to make sure I am aware of the rules 😀
      Thanks in advance ❤

      You guys are amazing! Loved this video, wish you'd recorded this before I'd moved to Düsseldorf and couldn't figure out what-was-what on Immoscout, haha!

      An unrequited idea off the top of my head (since this was such help) – maybe a collab with content creators in other cities to cover similar basics for the others too.

      Cheers 🎉

      Team Gerresheim here: when I was studying German, I lived for a month there. Actually, other than school or home I am probably only familiar with the activity zone or Medienhafen.
