Cornelius Square
'Corneliusplatz' is located between the 'Tritonenbrunnen' at the northern end of the 'Königsallee' canal and the southern edge of the 'Hofgarten' in the middle of Düsseldorf's city center. As a Wilhelminian 'jewelry' square, its green area was considered one of the most beautiful and popular in Düsseldorf. In 1882 a neo-baroque bowl fountain designed by the sculptor Leo Müsch was erected in its center. The square is named after Peter von Cornelius, the first director of the 'Kunstakademie Düsseldorf', whose monument stands in the 'Hofgarten' and which forms the axis of view to the north.
The Kaufhof department store (Hudson's Bay Company) was built between 1907 and 1909 according to plans by Joseph Maria Olbrich in the historical and monumental style of reform architecture.
