Industrial History Up Close: The Hut Tour in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord
On November 14, 2026, the Hut Tour will take you through the impressive world of the Meidericher Ironworks. In the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, the history of the former ironworks is narrated expertly and vividly – from blast furnace technology to the working conditions of the people who once produced iron here.
On the Trail of the Iron Route
The approximately 200-hectare industrial monument connects cultural heritage, industrial culture, and modern recreational landscape. During the approximately 1.75-hour city and works tour, participants will follow the path of iron from the charging area to the torpedo ladle car. Frameworks, pipes, stairs, platforms, and technical installations create an authentic atmosphere in which local history becomes directly tangible.
Meidericher Ironworks and Structural Change
The concession for the construction of the ironworks was granted in 1901, and in 1903, Blast Furnace 1 went into operation. Today, the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord stands as a prime example of successful structural change in the Ruhr area. The former production site was transformed into a unique local recreation area and event venue as part of the International Building Exhibition from 1989 to 1999.
Technology, Work and Imposing Architecture
The tour not only conveys technical connections but also makes the life and working world of the ironworkers understandable. Between blast furnaces, boilers, and industrial steel constructions, an intense discovery experience is created. In good weather, the walkable Blast Furnace 5 at around 70 meters high opens up a wide view over the western Ruhr area.
