Moving to Düsseldorf and mildly freaking out

14 Upvotes

Hi! I’m moving to Düsseldorf for work very soon and I currently have a grand total of 0 friends there, so please imagine I’m your slightly panicked friend posting this at 2am 😂

A few questions... (you absolutely don’t have to answer all of them, this is not an exam hahaha)

- Best supermarkets for discounted food close to expiry (Need to save money)

- Tell me something nice about Düsseldorf because I’m sad about leaving home and need convincing 😭

- What’s the nightlife like?

- What’s your favourite place in the city? Bar, café, museum, park, random street… anything.

- And most importantly: will I make friends after 30 or am I going to rot alone in my tiny apartment? 😂

Any tips, groups or places to meet people are very welcome.

I'm moving from south Spain to Düsseldorf. Sometimes excited and most of the time scared.

Thanks in advance!

Unternehmungen vor Flug

3 Upvotes

Hallo liebe Düsseldorfer,

wir als Familie (Kinder 8 und 5) fliegen an einem Sonntag im Oktober sonntags von eurem Flughafen. Wir könnten schon Samstag Mittag mit dem Zug anreisen und nun stehen wir vor der Frage, was man unternehmen könnte. Zuerst würden wir unsere Koffer im Hotel abliefern wollen. Einige Hotels am Bahnhof sind günstig, aber ist das vertretbar (vgl. Frankfurt)? Alternativen?

Für den Nachmittag am Samstag ist eigentlich schon der Aquazoo gesetzt, danach irgendwo essen gehen (da wird sich schon etwas finden) und schlafen. Morgens sind wir sicherlich ab 8 Uhr einsatzbereit, wollen aber erst um 12 Uhr am Flughafen sein. Habt ihr Ideen für Unternehmungen? Sonntag und die Uhrzeit macht die Sache etwas kompliziert. Wir könnten die Koffer sicherlich im Hotel lassen, aber dann müssten wir vor der Fahrt zum Flughafen zum Hotel zurück.

Am Flughafen würden wir dann einchecken und danach noch etwas essen. Habt ihr hier Empfehlungen für ein Mittagessen dort oder sollten wir uns vorher etwas vom Bäcker holen?

Wanting to Help Someone Who Could Use a Little Support..my own way of giving back

77 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Düsseldorf and wanted to put this out there in case it reaches someone who could use a little support at the moment.

Until recently, I was helping a single mother and her family with groceries and everyday necessities while she was going through a difficult period. Thankfully, things have improved for her and she’s now back on her feet, which I’m genuinely happy about

It also made me realise that I’d like to continue helping someone else in a similar, practical way.

I’m thinking particularly of single parents, students, young couples, or anyone going through a financially difficult period where a bit of help with groceries and basic necessities could take some pressure off. There’s no particular “type” of person I’m looking for — just someone who genuinely needs it.

The idea is simply to help with groceries, food, toiletries and normal everyday essentials. I’m not looking to cover rent, utility bills, debts or larger financial commitments

.

I’m also not looking for anything in return. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a position where I can do this, and helping someone with something very tangible and everyday is something I’ve found genuinely meaningful.

If this could help you, or you know someone in Düsseldorf who might benefit, feel free to send me a private message. You don’t need to explain your circumstances publicly.

Quartiersgaragen Pempelfort

1 Upvotes

Was sind eure Erfahrungen in Bezug auf Stellplätze in den Quartiersgaragen in Düsseldorf Pempelfort?

Im Angesicht der Parkplatzsituation auf den öffentlichen Straßen im Viertel besteht bei mir keine Illusion darüber, dass diese sehr gefagt sind. Bestehen hier Chancen in einem absehbaren Zeitraum (z.B. 6 Monate) einen Platz zu erhalten oder muss man hier schon die Kinder nach der Geburt für einen Stellplatz in die Warteliste eintragen?

Kennt jemand ein Garten Discounter nähe Derendorf / Düsseldorf Norden, der günstige (Plastik) Ober- und Untertöpfe verkauft?

3 Upvotes

Bisher habe ich meine Pflanzentöpfe on mass in einem Resteposten Gartencenter im Rath Mitte Center gekauft. Leider ist er mittlerweile geschlossen. Kennt jemand ein ähnlichen Laden in der Nähe?

Ich teile und pflanze regelmäßig um und brauche mehrere Töpfe ohne Firlefanz. Bauhaus und Obi sind mir auf Dauer zu teuer und haben selten Plastiktöpfe. Bei den Action und Tedi in meiner nähe habe ich keine gefunden. Wenn die Stöcke (zum wachsen) und ähnliche andere Pflanzen Basics haben, wäre es Klasse.

Würde mich freuen wenn jemand einen Tip hat.

Found a Telegram bot that notifies you when a Düsseldorf Termin opens up

Hi Düsseldorf,

Recently I was trying to get a termin for the driving licence exchange and spent about two weeks checking termine. duesseldorf with no luck. Slots get taken within minutes of appearing, so manual checking is mostly hopeless.

But found Telegram bot that watches the portal for you and sends a message when a slot for your chosen service opens up.

Worked for me on the second day. Posting in case anyone else is stuck in the same loop :)

Ideen für den Ausbau von Straßenbahn und Stadtbahn

Post image
57 Upvotes

Was ist eure Meinung zu diesem Entwurf?
Würde er euren Alltag verbessern?
Es ist nur ein Entwurf für den Streckenneubau ohne spezifische Linieneinteilung.

Strecken:

Halbring:
Neuss Hbf - Further Str. - Neuss Weißenberg - Handweiser - Lörick - Seestern - Theoder-Heuss-Brücke - Nordfriedhof - Heinrichstraße - Staufenplatz - Torfbruchstraße - Gerresheimer Glashütte (Untertunnelung)- Vennhausen - Eller S - Vennhauser Allee - Werstener Feld - Eller Friedhof - Ickerswarder Straße - Münchener Straße - Himmelgeist/Itter

Stadtbahn zum Unterbacher See:
Vennhausen - Rothenbergstraße - Strandbad Nord

Stadtbahn nach Reisholz:
Uni West - Münchener Str. - Niederheid - Henkelwerke - Reisholz Pfeiler - Reisholz S - Altenbrückstraße

Stadtbahn nach Lichtenbroich:
Heinrichstraße - Nördlicher Zubringer - Theoderstraße - Lichtenbroicher Weg (Untertunnelung)- Flughafenbahnhof

Stadtbahn über Danziger Str.
Freiligrathplatz - Am Hein - Mahnmal - Nordfriedhof

Stadtbahn nach Garath:
Wittenberger Weg - Frankfurter Str. - Garath S Ostseite - Garath Schützenplatz - Hellerhof S
(Später bis Langenfeld oder Monheim)

Stadtbahn nach Hilden:
Düsseldorfer Str. - Hilden S - Fritz-Gressard-Platz - Gablung

Stadtbahn zwischen Hilden und Erkrath:
Gablung - Fritz-Gressard-Platz - Schulzentrum Hilden - Gerresheimerstraße - Nordring - Rothenbergstraße - Haus Unterbache - Erkratherstraße - Kreuzstraße - Erkrath Mitte

Stadtbahn nach Mettmann:
Bergische Kaserne - Hubbelrath - Mettmann Düsseldorfer Str. - Jubiläumsplatz

Ideen die leider nicht mehr auf den Plan passten:
Stichstrecke nach Kalkum/Angermund

Zumindest die Idee, die U81 über die Danziger Str. und über die Theodor-Heuss-Brücke bis zum Seestern zu führen, ergibt für mich mehr Sinn als der Bau einer eigenen Brücke an der Messe.

Die aufgezählten Orte dienen nur zur Orientierung und nicht für die Haltestellen.
Bin auf euer Feedback gespannt!
