KIWIFALTER IN DÜSSELDORF
Expats can find that achieving work-life balance may pose major challenging. In particular, harmonising career, family and their new home is often especially demanding for those with children.
Kiwifalter is a family hub located close to the city in the northern Düsseldorf district of Kalkum. It is here, that competent and friendly professionals offer a host of reconciliation tools under one roof in their cheerful and modern premises.
They offer a concept that helps combine family and work more effectively. From coworking spaces with flexible childcare, courses and workshops for the young and the young at heart, to vacation camps and children’s birthday parties, services are designed to relieve the everyday pressures of locals and expats alike.
Smart Family Solutions
Going against German tradition, any long term commitment is not required. All on demand offers can be booked individually and conveniently with one click via the app. Payment is through their flexible family card and one billing system. They show that family friendliness can also be simple and, above all, fun.
Lifesaver for Expat Families
Kiwifalter’s family hub is also unique. They have reinvented the village square to create an unbeatable community as an alternative to crisscrossing the city.
Whether coworking or coffee bar, master class or craft session, online meeting or a circus birthday party. Within a total of 800 m² and in the midst of greenery, ample space can be found for more balance and compatibility in everyday family life.

PETS IN DÜSSELDORF
Germans, on the whole, love and respect pets and are friendly towards dogs. Dogs are permitted on public transport and inside restaurants but keeping a pet on a leash is a must. Dog ownership in Düsseldorf is highly regulated and taxed through a compulsory licence fee.
GERMAN FOR FUN
We stand in a foreign culture finding ourselves pointing, gesticulating and hoping to be understood. Germans mostly speak at least some English. However, some expats relocating to Düsseldorf may wish to carry a few basic but helpful words with them for use in awkward moments.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
The public transport system in the city is safe and normally efficient. A dense network of trams above and below ground as well as buses serve the city and its suburbs. Links via the S-Bahn train system reach further outlying areas and neighbouring communities.
Society and folk in Germany is often hotly debated and opinions divided. However, anyone who has experienced the hospitality offered in this culture knows more. Germans are more laid back than first meets the eye. Life in Germany as a whole and Düsseldorf especially is peaceful.
