Flat to rent 2 bedroom • 56 m² without real estateAm Himgesberg 9 Duisburg Hüttenheim Nordrhein-Westfalen 47259

Anyone who loves the character of historic architecture but does not want to forgo a modern, well-maintained standard of living might find their new home here.

The approximately 56 m², 2-room apartment is located on the first floor of a listed building from 1913 in the historic Alt-Hüttenheim settlement. Behind its characteristic architecture lies an apartment that was comprehensively modernized in 2025 and now presents itself bright, friendly, and extremely livable.

Particularly appealing is the classic and very functional layout: the living room offers around 15.3 m² of ample space, the bedroom measures about 12.8 m², and the separate kitchen, at roughly 14.5 m², is laid out so generously that a lovely dining area can easily be arranged. In addition, there is a daylight bathroom, a practical storage room, and the hallway.

The pleasantly high ceilings typical of an old building – with approximately 3.05 m noted in the main rooms on the floor plan – further enhance the airy feeling of the space.

However, the true highlight awaits just beyond the living room: the balcony, which is about 4.50 m wide with an actual area of over 6 m². From here, rather than overlooking a street or a row of houses, you enjoy an immediate view of the expansive, green courtyard of the historic settlement – and directly of its distinctive old clock tower. It’s a perfect spot for that first morning coffee, an outdoor dinner, or simply a few quiet minutes surrounded by nature.

It is precisely this view that makes the apartment especially appealing: historic ambiance right on your doorstep, plenty of greenery directly outside the balcony, and behind that, an apartment that has only recently been brought up to a modern technical and aesthetic standard.

Living in a Piece of Duisburg City History

Alt-Hüttenheim is no ordinary residential settlement. The complex was built between 1911 and 1914 as a workers’ settlement for the Hüttenwerk and has been under protection as a historic monument since December 1986. Characteristic features include its historic reform architecture, arched doorways, uniform facades, and especially the generous green courtyards.

The historic clock tower, which you can view directly from the apartment’s balcony, is one of the settlement’s landmarks. In the past, it even served as a time reference for the workers’ shifts at the Hüttenwerk. The green courtyards were an integral part of the urban design concept from the very beginning and still create an exceptionally spacious and tranquil living atmosphere.

Despite this historic and peaceful environment, the location is excellently connected: the border with Düsseldorf is only about 3.5 km away. The A524, A59, and A3 highways can be reached within a few minutes by car. Additionally, the Rhine River and Duisburg’s Six Lakes area – with its numerous leisure and recreational opportunities – are in close proximity.
