About the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord

The steelworks in the north of Duisburg was founded in 1902 by August Thyssen as a joint stock company for metallurgical operations. Five blast furnaces came into operation by 1908. In addition to the iron and steel works, the 200-hectare site also included a pit, a sintering plant, a coking plant and a foundry. The Kraftzentrale (power plant), built in 1902 and extended in several stages up to 1911, was the heart of the ironworks. Until 1965, the machines were used to generate power and wind for the blast furnaces but eventually were shut down and scrapped. In 1997, the plant was converted into a multi-function venue for cultural events.
