Experience the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord anew with the Hut Tour
This city tour takes you into the fascinating world of the Meidericher Eisenhütte and turns industrial history into a discovery experience. In the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord, historical blast furnace technology, impressive architecture, and the special charm of a repurposed industrial monument come together.
Between Blast Furnace, Work Environment, and Structural Change
The guided tour expertly tells the story of the Meidericher Eisenhütte, the technical processes in the foundry, and the working conditions that shaped the everyday lives of the workers. The journey of iron is vividly traced from the blast furnace to the torpedo ladle car. This way, local history is not only explained but also felt directly on site.
A Place with an Impressive Industrial Landscape
The Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord was created from the former foundry operation Meiderich, which was developed into a unique park and cultural space as part of the International Building Exhibition from 1989 to 1999. Huge scaffolding, pipes, stairs, and platforms tell of the mining industry, while the park-like design makes the transformation from factory to experience space visible. The view from the walkable blast furnace 5 over the Ruhr area is particularly impressive.
