A new highlight on the Rhine: House of History North Rhine-Westphalia in the Mannesmann building by Peter Behrens DIETER NELLEN
187 The Behrens building on the Mannesmannufer will be the home of the new state museum House of History North Rhine-Westphalia. DISCOVERING THE HISTORY OF NORTH RHINE-WESTPHALIA North Rhine-Westphalia was founded in 1946 by the British military administration as the most populous state in its occupation zone as well as in the subsequent federal republic. The territorial-conceptual basis was formed by the Prussian provinces in the west, existing since 1815, and the spatial development plans for a merger of the Rhineland and Westphalia, already drawn up at the time of the Weimar Republic. In 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary. Up until now, the federal state has been defined historically and politically primarily through its high-profile regions, in other words the Rhineland, Westphalia, and the Ruhr area, with only secondary importance accorded to its state identity that has matured since its foundation. In public consciousness, North Rhine-Westphalia has therefore primarily been the sum of its regions. In view of this background, a rich historical-political landscape developed right across North Rhine-Westphalia — with a dense network of impressive regional museums and institutions. In terms of urban planning, the respective state governments restricted themselves to a rather functional and purposeful cityscape in the state capital <strong>Düsseldorf</strong>. Only the Landtag building designed by architect Fritz Eller has represented a distinctive reference point since 1988 and has driven a redevelopment along the southern Rhine embankment that is taking effect to this day. The differentiated variety of the North Rhine-Westphalian history should not be fundamentally altered but experience an extension and be given a framework through a House of History North Rhine-Westphalia in the state capital. The initiative has met with general approval. At the end of 2019, the North Rhine-Westphalian state government therefore unanimously agreed on an independent foundation for a House of
