Duisburg Accents

Duisburg's oldest church. A church has existed at this place since the 9th century, then being part of the Frankish royal court. It was rebuilt after burning down in the 13th century, the current Gothic-style building commissioned by the Order of Teutonic Knights being completed in 1415.

Located at the exact place of the former royal court, the present Renaissance revival building from 1902 has replaced several predecessor buildings. In front of it stands the 19th-century Mercator well, dedicated to the famous cartographer, one of the greatest Duisburgers of all times.

Includes also the Mercator Treasury (a collection of globes and maps made by Gerhard Mercator, the inventor of the atlas) and a museum on the city of Königsberg.

Located in Europe's biggest inland harbour, the museum informs about the history and present of inland navigation, illustrated by several museum ships.

Internationally renowned collection of modern and contemporary art, especially statuary and sculptures.

Centre for modern and contemporary art in a former brick warehouse at the inner harbour.
