When Duisburg shines in the evening light: Tiger & Turtle as an extraordinary discovery experience
The evening tour of Tiger & Turtle combines a city tour, artwork, and panorama into a special experience above Duisburg's southern area. Those who experience the walkable large sculpture at dusk see the landmark by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth with entirely new eyes.
Light art over the region
On the Heinrich-Hildebrand-Höhe, Tiger & Turtle unfolds its full effect: 880 LEDs outline the curves of the steel sculpture into the sky, while the view extends far over Duisburg, the Rhine, and the city's sea of lights. The tour opens up the perspective on the idea, implementation, and cultural significance of this internationally acclaimed landmark.
Industrial culture meets scenic experience
The route leads step by step over the walkable construction that feels like a roller coaster but is nonetheless a work of art. Here, industrial culture, local history, and modern landmark architecture merge into an impressive mix of movement, perspective shifts, and photo opportunities with a long view.
