The City of Duisburg Marketing Corporation

WE are for Duisburg

How nice that you've found us! Now see Duisburg as we do!

Our city is first and foremost about its people, their open manner, their unmistakeable congeniality and cordiality which is so typical of the Ruhr district. And it is very much in times of need that these characteristics become evident.

Coal and steel were the making of our city; they’re our industrial history. But we’re just as pleased at how our city has developed since then, at the upturn which all of us here are experiencing and which visitors too are keenly aware of. Duisburg confounds the clichés of a grey industrial city in the Ruhr district, because it’s full of colour, it’s exciting ... and we love it.

And we wish to build on this. Even when the city is shaken by a crisis, it is still important to be mindful of its strengths: of the people, our history and the future. This is what we want to share with a wider audience because we believe unconditionally in Duisburg, this beautiful city of ours, so rich in ideas.

Our aim as the Duisburg Marketing Corporation (Duisburg Marketing Gesellschaft, or DMG) is to promote the city's cultural and tourist highlights, in close cooperation with local associations, organisations and businesses.

We design brochures, posters, flyers and other advertising materials and, in cooperation with the media, regularly publish the Duisburg event highlights.

With our Recreation, Culture and Tourism internet site www.duisburgnonstop.de, we provide a comprehensive events planner worldwide that, with its many services from hotel bookings to online shopping, leaves nothing to be desired. The most events in Duisburg and the surrounding area can also be booked simply and easily online.

We promote and operate well-known event locations across the country and are experienced in carrying out every kind of event, from city fests to international cultural festivals.

We support tourism in the city by marketing attractive events and venues, taking part for example in the 2005 World Games, the 2006 Football World Cup and the 2007 Canoe World Championships as a competent, cooperative partner.

We are an important point of contact for all visitors and also for the many citizens of Duisburg. Our aim is twofold: to showcase the attractiveness of Duisburg and to enhance the image of this city.
