The Düsseldorf tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Düsseldorf) is a network of tramways serving Düsseldorf, the capital city of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. In combination with the Düsseldorf Stadtbahn and Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn, it forms the backbone of the public transport system in Düsseldorf.
The tramway network is currently operated by Rheinbahn AG. As of 2012[update], its eleven tram lines ran over 78.0 kilometres (48.5 mi) of route, serving 178 stops.[1]

History
In 1876, the first horse-drawn tram line opened in Düsseldorf, joining Castle Square with the Bergisch- Märkischen station and the concert hall.[2] In 1896, the first electric tram ran in Düsseldorf,[2] and the full conversion of the system to electricity continued through 1900.[2]
Lines
As of 2016[update], seven tram lines[1] running on 78.0 kilometres (48.5 mi) of route,[1] and serving 178 stops,[1] operate in the city of Düsseldorf and in portions of the urban areas of Neuss:
