Tim Schumacher: What is Düsseldorf?

Jamie Rogers: That’s it. I was wondering if this rivalry I read about between Cologne and Düsseldorf before I came here was a real thing. Is there an actual rivalry between the cities?

Tim Schumacher: What is Düsseldorf?

Jamie Rogers: That’s a yes! Does that affect business or is it just a sports thing?

Tim Schumacher: It’s just a sports thing. And people make fun of it. I know a lot of good people in Düsseldorf. I actually would argue Düsseldorf is a little similar, it’s also a Rhineland type. It’s more of a sports rivalry. Same goes for Bayern and Leverkusen etc.
