The Park

One for all - all for you

The Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park combines the industrial cultural heritage, Nature and a fascinating light-show.

What stands behind this hefty term, Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park? What the visitor finds here is a massive industrial wasteland, measuring 200 hectares, which has been transformed over a period of more than ten years into a multifunctional park.

At the centre of the park there is a decommissioned metalworks, the old industrial facilities of which are today being put to a variety of different uses. The former factory buildings have been converted to accommodate cultural and corporate functions; an old gasholder has become the biggest artificial diving centre in Europe; alpine climbing gardens have been created in the former ore storage bunkers, and an extinct blast furnace has been developed into a panoramic tower.
