Living with history and a green view – modernised 2-room apartment with a balcony and a view of the clock tower.

For those who appreciate the character of historical architecture but don't want to compromise on a modern and comfortable living standard, this could be their new home. The approximately 56 m² two-room apartment is located on the first floor of a listed building from 1913, situated in the historic district of Alt-Hüttenheim. Behind the distinctive architecture lies an apartment that was completely modernized in 2025 and now offers a bright, welcoming, and exceptionally comfortable living space. The classic and very functional layout is particularly appealing: the living room offers a pleasantly spacious area of approximately 15.3 m², the bedroom has around 12.8 m², and the separate kitchen-living area is generously sized at approximately 14.5 m², making it easy to create a lovely dining area. In addition, there is a bathroom with natural light, a practical storage room, and a hallway. The pleasantly high ceilings, typical of older buildings – with a ceiling height of approximately 3.05 meters in the main rooms – further enhance the sense of spaciousness. The real highlight, however, is located just off the living room: the approximately 4.50-meter-wide balcony, with an actual area of over 6 square meters. From here, you don't look out onto a street or row of houses, but directly into the spacious, green courtyard of the historic complex – and directly at its distinctive old clock tower. It's a perfect spot for that first cup of coffee in the morning, a dinner outdoors, or simply a few quiet moments in the greenery. In my opinion, it's this view that makes the apartment so special: a historic atmosphere right outside your door, plenty of greenery directly in front of the balcony, and behind it, an apartment that has been brought up to a modern standard, both technically and aesthetically, very recently. Features:
• Comprehensive modernization planned for 2025
• New, bright bathroom with a bathtub
• New, high-quality designer flooring with an oak finish in all rooms (except the bathroom)
• Completely renewed electrical system, including wiring, switches, outlets, and distribution box
• All doors and door frames replaced

• Kitchen with ample space for a dining area
• Radiators and baseboards repainted
• The entire apartment was redecorated in 2025 with textured wallpaper and fully painted
• Spacious balcony with over 6 square meters of actual space, offering views of the green courtyard and the historic clock tower
• Practical separate storage room
• Cellar storage and shared laundry room
• Double-glazed wooden windows
• Heating provided by district heating.

Living in a piece of Duisburg's history

Alt-Hüttenheim is not your average residential area. The complex was built between 1911 and 1914 as a housing estate for the Hüttenwerk (steelworks) and has been a protected historical monument since December 1986. Its distinctive features include the historical Reform architecture, archways, uniform facades, and, in particular, the spacious, green courtyards.

The historical clock tower, which you can see directly from the balcony of this apartment, is one of the landmarks of the estate. In the past, it served as a time reference for the employees of the Hüttenwerk during their work shifts. The green courtyards were an integral part of the urban planning concept from the beginning and still create an exceptionally spacious and peaceful living environment today.

Despite this historical and tranquil setting, the location offers excellent transport links: the city limits of Düsseldorf are only about 3.5 km away. The A524, A59, and A3 motorways are within a few minutes' drive. The Rhine River and the Duisburg "Six Lakes" area, with its numerous leisure and recreational opportunities, are also easily accessible.
