The Rivalry between Cologne and Düsseldorf or Rivalry between Düsseldorf and Cologne is the competitive relationship between the two major cities in the Rhineland, Germany, which are located just under 40 kilometres (25 mi) apart on the Rhine. This rivalry, although celebrated as "enmity" on a sporting and cultural level, is based on historical and economic facts. While the larger Cologne developed from a Roman colony and later a Free Imperial City, the modern residential city Düsseldorf, which developed from a small medieval settlement, is today the capital of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

  • Als Rivalität zwischen Köln und Düsseldorf oder Rivalität zwischen Düsseldorf und Köln wird das Konkurrenzverhältnis zwischen den beiden Großstädten im Rheinland bezeichnet, die knapp 40 Kilometer voneinander entfernt am Rhein liegen. Diese Rivalität wird zwar auf sportlicher und kultureller Ebene als „Feindschaft“ folkloristisch zelebriert, basiert aber auf historischen und wirtschaftlichen Fakten. Während sich das größere Köln aus einer römischen Kolonie und späteren Freien Reichsstadt entwickelte, ist die aus einer kleinen mittelalterlichen Ansiedlung entstandene, neuzeitliche Residenzstadt Düsseldorf heute die Hauptstadt des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen.

  • Düsseldorf and Cologne are today two [...] equally weighty cities. [...] In a historical comparison, Düsseldorf has achieved the greater economic performance over the past three centuries. Cologne, on the other hand, has been able to preserve its historically grown cultural character , which has led to the emergence of a special quality of life. (en)
  • Düsseldorf is more refined and aloof, Cologne more folksy, cosier. What distinguishes the two cities, which are primarily 'Rhenish', are mainly their historically shaped peculiarities and above all history. The identification and self-confidence of their inhabitants is based on this - and a good part of their 'rivalry' also arises from this. Incidentally, one is pragmatic enough to cooperate when it serves the common good, on the other hand to build up tension when it strengthens the forces of self-discovery without really hurting the other [...] (en)
  • The widespread view that there is a state of mind between the inhabitants of the Rhineland metropolis and those of the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia that lies somewhere between deeply felt antipathy and apartheid is wrong. The error is possibly based on a lack of insight into historical events, misinterpretation of carnival speeches, propaganda of left-Rhine separatists or complete ignorance of Rhenish humour. (en)
  • Cologne is sufficiently signposted in Düsseldorf city centre - it is almost impossible to get lost here. In Cologne, on the other hand, you have to know that Neuss is near Düsseldorf and follow the signs there. The comment of the Cologne road traffic office on this: 'We cannot rule out that there are still residual signs [to Düsseldorf] from the 1930s'. According to Lord Mayor Schramma, no one has missed the signs yet. (en)
  • [...]the Prussians tried to abolish the French civil code, the Code Napoleon, again. The entire Rhine province protested vehemently against this. [...] When the people of Cologne heard that the Provincial Diet in Düsseldorf had unanimously rejected the change in law, they spontaneously decided to travel to Düsseldorf on boats. The people of Düsseldorf in turn greeted the people of Cologne enthusiastically with the following words: 'Cologne is our true metropolis; Cologne deserves to lead us. We grant it this reputation wholeheartedly and without envy'. Those were the days! I thought when I read that (en)
  • After the Second World War, however, location issues, the questions of locating central transport objects or even institutions became a bone of contention between the two cities. It began with the question of whether the newly founded North Rhine-Westphalia would need one or two airports, and whether Düsseldorf Airport was preferable to Cologne Airport. It was about the question of the state capital, and it was about the settlement of the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (en)
