Die Kunstdenkmäler der Stadt und des Kreises Düsseldorf

With the description of the art monuments of the city and district of Düsseldorf, the monument statistics address a field that is the preferred area of work for two esteemed local historical societies, the older Bergische and the younger Düsseldorfer Historical Society. While the monuments of the city of Düsseldorf have been known and acknowledged for quite some time, the monumental documents of the rich history of the district in the fields of ecclesiastical and secular architecture have almost been forgotten. This publication seeks to fill these gaps and to equally honor the entire artistic activity. Since the program of the monument statistics excludes the description of artworks from the 19th century, the development of modern Düsseldorf art has necessarily been left unconsidered. Paul Clemen supports his detailed discussions in this comprehensive work on the art monuments of the city and district of Düsseldorf with 77 historical illustrations. This book is an unaltered reprint of the long out-of-print original edition from 1894.
