Myrthe in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord

Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord: production at the Meiderich steelworks came to an end on April 4, 1985. At the same time, it marked the beginning of an incredible development: Anyone who sets out today to climb the 70-meter-high platform of blast furnace 5, which is accessible to everyone, will be amazed at the result. Through the contrast between continuous transformation and constant preservation of monuments, an industrial wasteland has been transformed into a unique experience for young and old alike. A development that continues.

The idea of a new kind of industrial-influenced natural and cultural landscape was born in 1989. Based on a design by Professor Peter Latz and partners, a landscape park was created on the approximately 180-hectare site in the north of Duisburg that is neither a park nor a landscape in the traditional sense.
