Community and Local
Remarkably cosmopolitan for a city of its size, Dusseldorf has a diverse population and waves of immigration in past decades have left a rich ethnic legacy.
Newcomers from the Mediterranean and Middle East, Eastern Europe and more recently Asia and Africa have enriched the local community, bringing with them new creeds and cuisines.
