Dusseldorf, Germany

[mininghorn88 2320]

It looks like I will be traveling to Dusseldorf in mid-to-late January for business purposes.  I have never been to Germany before.  Plenty of other countries but have just passed through the airports in Germany.  I am considering staying over a few extra days to check things out.  I know that it will be cold that time of year but would like to take the opportunity as it presents itself.

Looking for recommendations on things to do with a slant towards historical places and/or buildings.

City neighbors Köln where the gimungous cathedral is the flagship attraction. Theres a roman archaeological site and large synagogue also. Lots of brewhouses as well. 
Worth a day or 2 walking around but nothing mindblowing

Yeah, we've just done Koln, and it's a pretty cool town.  The cathedral and the history (all the way back to Roman) around it is amazing.

Also, get a giant pork knuckle at Gilden im Zims with a cold glass of Kolsch:
