Guided Story

You're standing on Portsmouthplatz, established back in 1934. This expansive area covers 12,000 square meters and serves as the forecourt to Duisburg's main train station. Named after the sister city of Portsmouth, it embodies the connection between these two cities. As you look around, you'll notice how the square welcomes travelers arriving from the east at the station. Just about 100 meters northwest, you'll find the Niederrhein Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This place is more than just a transit hub; it's a living testament to international friendship.
