Hochofenstraße, Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord
The ›Aktiengesellschaft für Hüttenbetrieb‹ was founded by August Thyssen in the north of Duisburg in 1902. The 200- hectare site was home to five blast furnaces as well as a pit, a sintering plant, a coking plant and a foundry.
The Gebläsehalle or blasting hall forms part of the former steam blasting plant, a complex dating back to the works’ beginnings. It still contains four of the electric turbo compressors used to produce the furnace blast.
The Kraftzentrale or central power plant was built between 1906 and 1911. 170 metres long, 35 metres wide and 20 metres high, it is one of the largest industrial buildings in Metropole Ruhr. In 1965 the machines fell silent and were later scrapped. The hall itself was used to store equipment right up to the mid-Eighties. In 1997, after a seven-month long overhaul, the Kraftzentrale reopened its doors as a multifunctional location for cultural events.
The semi-open Gießhalle or cast house was part of the blast furnace. Since the mid-90s this hall, completed by a retractable roof, is being used for events and open-air cinema.
