There were times when Dusseldorf was nothing more than a small village on the small river Dussel (main's tributary). Today, according to general money turnover, this is one of the top three cities in Germany.
WWII left only 15% of the city's infrastructure intact. After the restoration, Dusseldorf grew into a significant administrative and business center for the country's renowned engineering region. Although the city itself has little in the way of industry, it is way ahead of many industrial cities in terms of general wealthy. With so many banks and international administrative offices concentrated in it, Dusseldorf can boast of a very high urbanity level. Foreign citizens make up about one sixth of the city's whole population.
