HEAVY
The Ruhr area in Germany has been dominated by coal mining and heavy industry for more than a century. The northern part of Duisburg, Germany became a part of the Ruhr industrial area at a relatively late stage: around the mid 19th century when heavy industry was beginning to burst the limitations of the Ruhr valley. Thyssen´s Blast furnace no. 5 is a prime example of the late industrial era. Today the Blast furnance is part of the Landscape Park in Duisburg North - a beautiful park combining untamed vegetation, specially designed gardens and green areas, and disused industrial monuments:
Once a location of the industry with workplaces for many hundred people - today a landscape park made for leisure time and culture: Landscape Park Duisburg North.
