Duisburg has been a city in the midst of change for more than a generation. At the heart of its industrial heritage is the former Thyssen plant. Between 1901 and 1985, the ironworks turned out pig iron for the production of steel. Long displaced by cheaper foreign competition, the company closed down the facility. But it is more lively than ever. Three blast furnaces adorn the area which has been listed as a monument since the year 2000. Few other places convey the power and strength of the industrial revolution. Now, the “Landschaftspark Duisburg” is open year-round as a living museum, accessible to everyone.
