Düsseldorf is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia and the administrative seat of the Düsseldorf administrative district. With 620,523 inhabitants on December 31, 2020, the independent city on the Rhine is the second-largest city in the state behind Cologne. In Germany, Düsseldorf is the seventh largest city by population. Düsseldorf is part of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region with a population of around ten million and the Rhineland metropolitan region with a population of 8.6 million. The city is located in the core of the central European economic area.

In 1288, the town at the mouth of the small river Düssel into the Rhine was granted city rights. From the end of the 14th century to the beginning of the 19th century, the city was the seat of government of lands of the Holy Roman Empire and the Confederation of the Rhine: the Duchy of Berg, the Duchies of Jülich-Berg and Jülich-Kleve-Berg, and the Grand Duchy of Berg, and from 1690 to 1716 also the residence of Count Palatine and Elector Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz. Prussian since 1815, it became the seat of the Düsseldorf administrative district in 1816. From 1824 to 1932, the city was the parliamentary seat of the Rhine Province. During the Empire, Düsseldorf developed into the "desk of the Ruhr region" in the course of Germany's high industrialization and became a major city when it passed the 100,000 population mark in 1882.

The metropolis on the Rhine is one of Germany's five most important economic centers with strong international ties. Düsseldorf is a trade fair city and home to many listed companies, including the DAX-listed Henkel Group. It is also Germany's top-selling location for auditing, management consulting and clothing fashion, as well as an important financial and stock exchange center. It is also a leading location for the art trade in Germany.
