About this audio guide
This guide to Rheinpark Golzheim in Düsseldorf follows Arthur Schlossmann, a children's doctor who spent his life fighting for sick babies, from a free clinic in the eighteen nineties to the city's children's ward. It turns to the summer of nineteen twenty-six, when a huge, oddly named exhibition on health and welfare came to this riverbank, with the architect Wilhelm Kreis building its halls. Best heard on the meadow facing the Rhine, with the Tonhalle's dome to the south.
