About this audio guide
This guide to Kö-Bogen II in Düsseldorf starts with the elevated road that once carried the city's traffic across this ground, a protected monument that did not survive. It follows what replaced it: a building with walls that grow, the nursery years behind them and the gardeners who keep them in shape. Stand on Schadowstraße facing the green facade, close enough to touch the leaves.
