What the map tells us about record stores in Düsseldorf
36 of the 56 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.
27 have websites listed. Worth a look for new-arrival posts and want-list services.
2 of the shops are tagged as selling used vinyl — the dollar bins and used wall are where the real digging happens.
The Düsseldorf record crawl
Making a day of it in Düsseldorf? Work this order: a-musik on 28 Kleiner Griechenmarkt, Peitzmeier, andrä on 20 - 28 Limbecker Straße, Drake Records on 48 Ritterstraße, Vinyl K-73 on 73 Körnerstraße, plattschallen on 24 Zülpicher Straße, Music Rebel on 29a Kerpener Straße, and Parallel Schallplatten on 2-4 Brabanter Straße. That's the record crawl in one sensible loop, no backtracking. 48 more are listed below.
Record digging tips for Düsseldorf
A few things worth knowing before you work through Düsseldorf's record stores:
- Check for box sets at a-musik. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
- Don't skip the 45s at Peitzmeier. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
- The dollar bin is honest work. Nobody's getting rich off the dollar bin, but the joy-per-dollar ratio is unbeatable. Flip through all of it.
- Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Düsseldorf — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Düsseldorf can take a while to appear. The 56 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 56 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Record store listings for Düsseldorf: 56 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
