Düsseldorf is the capital city of the German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany) Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Rhine-Westphalia) and (together with Cologne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne) and the Ruhr Area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhr_Area)) the economic center of Western Germany. Düsseldorf is located on the River Rhine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine) and it is one of the main centers of the densely populated Rhine-Ruhr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine-Ruhr) area.
Düsseldorf is not only widely known as a stronghold of the German advertising and fashion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion) industry. In the last few years the city on the Rhine has become a top telecommunications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications) center in Germany. There are 18 internet providers located in the capital of North-Rhine Westphalia. With two of the four big German providers of mobile frequencies, D2 Vodafone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone) and E-Plus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Plus_%28operator%29), Düsseldorf leads the German mobile phone market. This pioneer position is evidenced by the presence of many foreign trading centers in Düsseldorf such as NTT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Telegraph_and_Telephone), Ericsson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson), Nokia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia) or GTS
When the Roman Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire) was strengthening its position throughout Europe, a few Germanic tribes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_tribes) clung on to their marshy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh) territory off the eastern banks of the Rhine River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine_River).
In the 7th and 8th centuries, the odd farming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farming) or fishing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing) settlement could be found at the point where the small river Düssel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCssel) flows into the Rhine. It was from such settlements that the city of Düsseldorf grew.
The first written mention of the town of Düsseldorf dates back to 1135 (then called Düsseldorp). It was told that under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_I%2C_Holy_Roman_Emperor) the small town of Kaiserswerth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserswerth), lying to the North of Düsseldorf, became a well fortified outpost, where soldiers kept their watchful eyes over every movement on the Rhine. Kaiserswerth eventually became a suburb of Düsseldorf in 1929.
In 1186 Düsseldorf came under the rule of Berg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berg_%28earldom%29). The counts of Berg moved their seat to the town in 1280.
14 August (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_14)1288 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1288) is one of the most important dates in the history of Düsseldorf as it was on this day that the sovereign Count Adolf V of Berg granted the village on the banks of the Düssel city rights.
