The Düsseldorf Palace of Art and Lasker - Tarrasch 1908

by Friedrich-Karl Hebeker

It was just 100 years ago that the first four games of the famous world championship match Emanuel Lasker - Siegbert Tarrasch were played at the Düsseldorf Palace of Art on 17-24 August 1908. Here a (very) short building history of the Palace with illustrations (in German only):

The thing to do would be to visit the venue particularly during the main exhibition of the Jan Wellem year [1] which will be held from 20 September to January.
