About Pollen in Düsseldorf

Düsseldorf’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch and Alder pollen; Birch (Betula) is prolific in the Hofgarten and Rheinpark Golzheim; Alder (Alnus) is common along the Rhine riverbanks. Oak (Quercus) contributes significantly from the Grafenberger Wald. Summer (May-July) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from the Volksgarten and meadows bordering the Rhine.

The Rhine valley geography can trap pollen; dense urban areas in the Altstadt create localised high concentrations. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the Aaper Wald and damp riverside environments.
