„Heimspiel im Parlament“: Landtag öffnet für Fans

In the organizer's words:

The European Football Championship is in full swing and has already brought many thousands of fans to Düsseldorf. The state parliament is opening its doors for the "home game in parliament" on the European Championship weekends in June. On Saturday, June 29, 2024, and Sunday, June 30, 2024, visitors can experience the state parliament directly on the banks of the Rhine in the immediate vicinity of one of the city's fan zones.

The President of the state parliament, André Kuper, invites all guests from Germany and abroad. He says: "The European Championship is not just a soccer tournament, but a major event that puts the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia in the world's spotlight. We are showing how colorful, diverse and open our state is. The parliament is the symbol of democracy in North Rhine-Westphalia and an architectural highlight. We look forward to welcoming many national and international guests who can experience architecture, history and politics in exciting guided tours."

Visitors can discover the state parliament free of charge and without registration on all European Championship weekends during the "Home Game in Parliament" in June between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on a 45-minute guided tour or individually on a smartphone tour with their own cell phone. Parliament also invites guests to play table football in the Bürgerhalle. Those interested can take a look into the plenary chamber and visit the parliamentary group and committee rooms. A film on a 240-degree panoramic screen provides insights into the work of the members of parliament and the presidium of the state parliament as well as interesting facts about the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
