An exclusive look behind the scenes of the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park
This city tour opens doors that usually remain closed: The exclusive tour Behind Closed Doors takes visitors on a special exploration through the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park. On the grounds of the former steelworks, industrial culture, local history, and impressive architecture come together and make the Ruhr area experienceable in a unique way.
Industrial culture to touch
The tour leads to areas that are not accessible during regular visits. These include the control center of the steelworks and production halls that usually remain hidden. Here, it becomes visible how significant the organizational effort was during operations and large events in the historical industrial site and how the site functions today as a monument and place of experience.
History that tells stories
The Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park is one of the most well-known locations of industrial culture in the Ruhr area. In the past, employees of the Meiderich steelworks worked here; today, the grounds open up as a cultural heritage for guests from near and far. The tour combines facts with atmosphere and shows how a former steelworks site has become a fascinating space for experience.
Atmosphere between steel, space, and perspective
Those who book this tour do not experience an ordinary visit, but a true discovery experience. The mix of technical history, authentic interiors, and the unique character of the landscape park creates a cultural enrichment for everyone wishing to get to know Duisburg beyond the well-known paths.
