LOFTHAUS

Benrath is famous for its magnificent palace. But this district in Düsseldorf South has other highlights too: what is known as the LOFTHAUS is housed in a former covered dockyard not far from the Rhine. While boats were once refurbished here, and a crane runway hoisted the heavy ships in and out, today you’ll find people here partying, dining and attending conferences. The crane has been left in place in memory of the old days; the rest of this industrial building has been dipped in dazzling white. The Lofthaus has 1,500 square metres of space, split over two floors. Apart from the actual loft, the owners also operate the 400-square-metre Companion Deck and the 100-square-metre Jägerbar for smaller receptions or parties.
