Monument protection
The seven-track lay-up hall (tracks 7-13) and the four-track wash hall (tracks 14-17) of the depot are listed monuments.
They were entered in the list of monuments as a technical monument on April 26, 1996.
There is [a] public interest in its preservation and use, as the facility is significant for the history of the cities and settlements as well as for the development of working and production conditions.
The historically and architecturally relevant parts of the depot are witnesses to the outstanding importance of public transport by means of electric streetcar operation in Düsseldorf, which as a special feature shows the continuation of extensive streetcar operation to the present day.
With the revision pits (tracks 7-13), the technical evidence of the operation has been preserved unchanged, the hall still serves the original purpose. For the history of reinforced concrete construction, the hall is a historically early and convincing evidence. With the highly economical elements of the construction, the hall in both parts (tracks 7-13 and tracks 14-17) has an aesthetic dimension that clearly stands out above the average of contemporary reinforced concrete construction. ... The coverage of the building in the relevant contemporary journals of the building industry proves that the building was already given due attention in the period of its construction.
Note: In the monument protection notice as well as in other - especially older - descriptions of the depot, the term "hall" is often used for the entire building complex. Today, we differentiate between the workshop or stump hall (tracks 1-6), the listed staging hall (tracks 7-13) and wash hall (tracks 14-17) as well as the hall - which no longer belongs to Rheinbahn - last used as a bus depot.
