Dr. Sylvia Nielius, together with Düsseldorf’s Lord Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller, officially launched the new name on 31 March 2025:
For more than 25 years, stilwerk Düsseldorf has been known as düwell – the gallery mall for the extraordinary. “We are expanding the building, which once focused strictly on interior design,” emphasizes Dr. Sylvia Nielius from VÖLKEL Real Estate GmbH. The experienced placemaking expert supports the investor in making the Gallery Mall a favorite place again as a mixed-use property.
Together with Nikolai Walter, Head of Asset & Property Management at Aroundtown, the Lord Mayor Dr. Stephan Keller, Andrea Greuner as Managing Director of IG KÖ and Düsseldorf artist Jacques Tilly, she presented his individually designed cake with the new name – düwell – a symbolic act to mark the new start.
The new name düwell represents a striking connection between the word syllable “DÜ” for Düsseldorf and the term “WELL”, which stands for well-being, well-being and well-being. This combination describes a place that stands for a special shopping experience – a place where people like to linger if they are looking for something special.
“With this new concept, Aroundtown is laying the foundations for repositioning this premium property in line with the current needs of our clientele.”, says Nikolai Walter, Head of Asset & Property Management.
In future, suppliers from the beauty, lifestyle & concept stores and health sectors will be able to set up store in düwell, offering a special shopping experience together with exclusive furniture brands and art galleries. The modern coworking space on the third floor already represents a successful first step in this direction. The concept is complemented by events and pop-up stores
