Directions and location

Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf
Institut für Geschichtswissenschaften, Arbeitsbereich Globalgeschichte
Universitätsstraße 1
40225 Düsseldorf

The campus of the university is a small city by itself. Therefore, there are several bus and streetcar stops. A special offer for the freshmen, but all other students benefit from it as well, is the Rheinbahn campus map. With the help of the Rheinbahn timetable information, you can find the fastest way to your destination.

Düsseldorf's main train station is connected to all international long-distance routes.

From there, the U79 light rail line goes directly to the university: direction "Uni-Ost / Botanischer Garten" (also the final stop). You can also reach the same stop with the U73 line - only on Sundays with the 704.
You can reach the stop "Universität Nord / Christophstraße" with the lines 704, U71, U73 and U83.

It is especially recommended for all destinations on the northern campus. You can get to "Südpark" with lines U71, U73, U79 and U83 - also only on Sundays with the 704.

If you add up the grounds of HHU (Heinrich Heine University) and UKD (University Hospital), this results in a large campus area.

Südpark (Buslinien SB57, 723, 727, 731, 735, 827)
