I have often walked on this street before
Dusseldorf is full of pretty architecture and sweet details. In any city it’s worth taking time and paying more attention to the street you wander down; you never know what you will find. I’ve always been a doddler (ie walking slowly and rather clumsily) but being pregnant slows me down even more. As I waddled along Konkordia Strauss last week I found more to see than I usually notice.
I love the colour of buildings in Dussledorf. In every street the facades are all different.
I’m not entirely sure who Peter Ludwigs is but he was either born or stayed on this street. From a google search he appears to have been an important person in the development of Dusseldorf, but I’m not sure. I noticed the plaque right outside our apartment.
Isn’t this car cool? Leather interior and always perfectly shiny - I want a shot!
I saw these rose petals at the bottom of the street; a long trail led to no-where.
This guy is easy to miss, sandwiched between two bushes. He’s a rather nice piece of art on the street.
A taster of my future blog post on Dusseldorf cake. The waffles were a Saturday treat. We found them in an ice-cream shop nearby…

The plague you noticed is part of a german project called “Stolpersteine”. Those stumble stones are being placed in front of houses in the memory of the people who lived there and were deportated by the nazis. You can find them in a lot of places in germany and the project is still growing.
And isn’t it nice that you stumbled upon one and went and found out more about the person, so this man isn’t forgotten or erased from memory!? There is so much poetry and rightfulness in this.
