It is an example of the use of concrete as a building material. For example, the "inner and outer sides of the wall surfaces are made of exposed concrete". The relief "Jesus in the boat" and the lettering "If you don't believe, so you won't stay" are works by the Düsseldorf artist Curt Beckmann.

The Florapark is one of the smaller parks in the state capital of Düsseldorf. Its total area is 3 hectares. It is located in the old south of the city, today in the south of the city center in the district of Unterbilk, not far from Friedrichstadt and Bilk.
Sight 10: Karl-Arnold-Haus
The Karl-Arnold-Haus is located at Palmenstraße 16 in Düsseldorf-Unterbilk, in the aftermath of the Florapark. The building is the joint headquarters of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts, the Johannes Rau Research Foundation and the State Rectors' Conference of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Sight 11: Alt St. Martin
The church of Alt St. Martin is the oldest church in Düsseldorf and at the same time the oldest surviving building in the state capital. The origins of the former Bilk parish church lie in Carolingian times. The church, originally built around the year 700 and rebuilt around the year 1000, presumably also served as a parish church for the then neighbouring community of Düsseldorf until 1206. In 1812, Alt St. Martin lost its function as the parish church of Bilk and was no longer used as a church for over a century. After war damage and several elaborate restorations, the Catholic parish of St. Bonifatius and the Protestant Lutheran parish now regularly celebrate services in Alt St. Martin.
Sight 12: Jan-Wellem-Kapelle
The Jan Wellem Chapel (Cross Chapel) at Fährstraße No. 95 in Düsseldorf-Hamm was donated in 1658 by Philipp Wilhelm in gratitude for the birth of his son Johann Wilhelm, called Jan Wellem. Jörg Heimeshoff describes the Renaissance chapel, which was completed in 1660 and renovated in 1990:
