About this audio guide
This guide to Carlsplatz Market in Düsseldorf reads the square as a built thing, starting with the fortress walls that once ran through this ground and the Elector who gave the new quarter its name. It follows the tax breaks that lured builders in the seventeen-eighties and the medieval market rights behind the stalls. Stand on the south side, near the benches, to hear about the most recent rebuild.
