Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord
Duisburg, Germany
A closed ironworks turned into a free public park, with a blast furnace you can climb, climbing walls in old bunkers and a coloured light show after dark. Parking is at the main entrance on Emscherstraße.
August Thyssen ran an ironworks on this site in Duisburg-Meiderich from 1901, which was shut down in 1985 during the steel crisis. The landscape architect Peter Latz and his practice Latz + Partner designed the park in 1991, and in the 1990s it became one of the major projects of the IBA Emscher Park. Rather than demolishing the plant, it was put to new uses: the former ore bunkers are used for climbing, the gasometer for diving, and a high-ropes course runs between the blast furnaces. According to the park, the viewing platform on Blast Furnace 5 is accessible at any time.
After dark, a light installation by Jonathan Park picks out the industrial structures. The park is open around the clock, and parking on site is free according to the operator (as of October 2026). Allow several hours for a visit and come towards evening if you want to see the lighting; sturdy footwear is advisable on the industrial surfaces.
