La Düsseldorf was a German band formed by the former member of Neu!, multi-instrumentalist Klaus Dinger, his brother Thomas Dinger, and Hans Lampe.
La Düsseldorf released a string of successful albums (with sales totaling over a million) during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and were considered highly influential by Brian Eno and David Bowie, with Bowie going so far as calling La Düsseldorf "the soundtrack of the eighties". The release of their third record Individuellos was followed by a "years-long legal dispute" with the record company Warner Brothers and disagreements between the Dinger brothers.
