Ratinger Hof Düsseldorf

The Ratinger Hof at Ratinger Straße ten is a narrow, storied building in the heart of Düsseldorf’s Old Town. While the original structure was demolished in nineteen eighty-nine, its address remains a landmark for those tracing the origins of German underground culture. Throughout the late nineteen seventies, this location functioned as a chaotic, white-walled sanctuary for artists and musicians who found little room for their ideas in conventional pubs.
