Guided Tour of the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord: Experience Duisburg's Industrial History Up Close

This tour takes you right into one of the most impressive industrial monuments in the Ruhr area. In the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord, the history of the Meiderich Ironworks comes to life: technology, working conditions, and everyday life at the blast furnace combine here for an authentic discovery experience with a strong connection to local history.

A Walk Through Steel, Fire, and Structural Change

The Landscape Park was created as part of the International Building Exhibition between 1989 and 1999 from the former Meiderich steelworks and covers around 200 hectares. During the guided tour, guests move through an area where once blast furnaces, scaffolding, pipes, and bunker bags dictated the rhythm of work. Today, the site tells the story of the transformation from industry to cultural enrichment.

History You Can Touch at an Iconic Location

According to the tour description, the journey of iron from the gas outlet to the torpedo ladle car is vividly explained. Additionally, there are impressive insights into the establishment of the plant, its closure in 1985, and the later renovation of the area with support from the EU, the state of NRW, and the city of Duisburg.

Technology, Architecture, and Impressive Perspectives

Between blast furnaces and old operational paths, a city tour with a special atmosphere emerges. Those who look closely will discover the monumental architecture of the industrial age, which now serves as a backdrop for culture, recreation, and sightseeing.
