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

Here is the translation of the text into English:

For those who appreciate the character of historic architecture but do not want to forgo a modern, well-maintained standard of living, this might be your new home.

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 the characteristic architecture hides an apartment that was comprehensively modernized in 2025 and now presents itself as bright, cheerful, and very livable.

In particular, the classic and very practical layout is appealing: The living room, at about 15.3 m², offers plenty of space, the bedroom measures approximately 12.8 m², and the separate kitchen-living area is generously sized at around 14.5 m², making it easy to set up a pleasant dining area. In addition, there is a daylight bathroom, a practical storage room, and a hallway.

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

However, the true highlight awaits behind the living room: the balcony, approximately 4.50 m wide with an actual area of over 6 m². From here, you are not looking onto a street or a house front but directly into the expansive, landscaped courtyard of the historic settlement – and directly at its striking old clock tower. A perfect spot for your first coffee in the morning, an outdoor dinner, or simply a few quiet minutes in the greenery.

In my view, it is precisely this view that makes the apartment special: a historic ambiance right at your doorstep, plenty of greenery directly in front of the balcony, and behind it an apartment that was brought up to a contemporary standard both technically and visually only recently.

Living within a Piece of Duisburg’s Urban History

Alt-Hüttenheim is no ordinary residential estate. The complex was built between 1911 and 1914 as a workers’ settlement for the Hüttenwerk and has been under historical preservation since December 1986. The settlement is characterized by its historic reform architecture, archways, uniform facades, and especially the spacious, landscaped inner courtyards.

The historic clock tower, which you can view directly from the balcony of this apartment, 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 inner courtyards were an integral part of the urban planning from the beginning and continue to create an exceptionally spacious and tranquil living atmosphere.

Despite this historic and peaceful environment, the location is very well connected: the border of the city of Düsseldorf is only about 3.5 km away. The A524, A59, and A3 motorways are reachable within a few minutes’ drive. The Rhine and Duisburg’s Sechs-Seen-Platte, with their numerous leisure and recreational options, are also within easy reach.
