Haus von Heinsberg – striking brick architecture and sought-after location. With the Rhine river on the doorstep and a historic, villagey feel, Niederkassel has become one of Düsseldorf’s most desirable residential areas.
Alt-Niederkassel is undoubtedly one of the most charming addresses Düsseldorf has to offer. Just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Rhine, this established district feels like a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city – with cobbled streets, old lime trees and a long-standing neighbourhood that exudes tranquillity and character. In the midst of this village-like, historically rooted quarter, a residential building is being created that blends sensitively into the architectural fabric – while also making a modern statement: the urban villa Haus von Heinsberg.
Timeless Architecture – Deliberately Restrained
The building, designed by renowned Berlin architect Sebastian Treese, deliberately draws on the traditional forms of the Rhineland in both its materials and design. The distinctive stepped gable, the red-brown brick façade, elegant mullioned windows and classically proportioned shutters all reference historical architectural styles – reinterpreted with the precision and sensitivity that are hallmarks of Treese’s work. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design.
With only four apartments, the residential community remains exclusive and intimate. Particularly noteworthy is the spacious ground floor apartment: approximately 195 square metres of living space, complemented by a private garden, a covered loggia and an additional terrace, create the impression of a single-storey family home – combined with the urban ease of an elegant multi-family residence.
Interior: Subtle Luxury by RALF SCHMITZ
As traditional as the exterior design may appear, the interior fittings are of the highest standard and thoroughly modern – fully in line with the RALF SCHMITZ philosophy of property development. Refined surfaces, bespoke fittings, well-considered layouts and the finest materials all make one thing clear: this was not merely constructed – it was carefully crafted.
The apartments on the upper and top floors, ranging from approximately 102 to 186 square metres, offer private retreats with views of historic buildings, treetops and the sky above Niederkassel. Each unit has its own distinct character – from the charming attic flat with exposed beams to the spacious living loft with a French balcony.
Living Between Village Idyll and Cosmopolitan City
What makes this location truly special is its quiet sense of self-assurance. Alt-Niederkassel is shaped by its established structures, small shops, well-tended gardens – and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down. And yet, Düsseldorf’s city centre is only a few minutes away, as are the Rhine promenade, the heart of Oberkassel, and nearby galleries, restaurants and parks. Those who live here enjoy discreet luxury, embedded in a setting rich with historical character.
A Project with a Signature Style
As with all projects by RALF SCHMITZ, this one, too, brings together artisanal excellence and architectural integrity. For over 150 years, the company has stood for buildings that do not follow fleeting trends but are rooted in lasting values: quality of location, design culture, and durability.
The urban villa Haus von Heinsberg is more than just a new residential building – it is a contribution to the architectural culture of Alt-Niederkassel. And it is an invitation to those who value authenticity, individuality, and substance.
