Hofgarten Cruising Area ⚠ Unverified Own this place?

The Hofgarten is Düsseldorf's central park, between the Altstadt and the north end of the Königsallee. It has a long reputation as a gay cruising area, but we found only weak, older mentions and no current guide, so treat it as unverified and listed for its history. It is an ordinary public park used by families, joggers and commuters. Meeting men there is legal, but sexual acts in public can be prosecuted under §183a StGB if they cause offence, and Düsseldorf police have reported robberies in the park. Keep valuables at home. Turbine 11 sauna in Flingern is the legal indoor option.
