Frequently asked
Other places
How this list is made
Each agency is checked against public company registers, state licence requirements and professional-association member lists, then against its own website. Only agencies confirmed as operating are published. No agency pays to be listed and there are no rankings or reviews. Last verified: 2026-10-10.
01How many modeling agencies are there in Düsseldorf?
This catalogue lists 10 verified agencies in Düsseldorf, including No Toys, Thomsen Models, Stars Model-Management and brüderchen & schwesterchen. Only agencies with a current licence or professional-association membership, or confirmed by at least two independent sources, are included.
02Which parts of Dusseldorf are modeling agencies in?
All 10 catalogue agencies give an address. Three are in Stadtmitte (near Schadowstraße, Oststraße and Berliner Allee), three in Oberkassel on the left bank of the Rhine, two in Pempelfort, one in Carlstadt near Graf-Adolf-Platz and one in Gerresheim on the eastern edge of the city.
03When is Düsseldorf Fashion Days?
Twice a year, in winter and summer. The summer 2026 order days ran on 22–29 July; the next are set for 27 January to 3 February 2027 and 21–28 July 2027. It is a trade event, joined in summer by the public DFD Festival with fashion shows in the city centre.
04How much does public transport cost in Dusseldorf?
In October 2026 a single Rheinbahn ticket within the city (level A) cost €3.80 and was valid for 90 minutes, and a 24-hour ticket for one person cost €7.60. The Deutschlandticket costs €63 a month and is valid on local and regional transport across Germany.
05Which Dusseldorf agencies belong to VELMA?
Two, according to the association's last published member list (June 2025): No Toys and Thomsen Models. The association's website was offline in October 2026, so we rely on an archived copy of the list. Membership is not a licence: model agencies in Germany do not need one.
06Do Dusseldorf agencies represent models from Lithuania?
Yes. A Lithuanian model usually gets here through a mother agency that sends digitals and measurements. You can also apply directly: all 10 agencies have an application page on their websites. As an EU citizen you do not need a work permit in Germany.
