Landscape Park Duisburg Nord

The tour places a particular focus on industrial history. Where workers high up filled the boiling blast furnace in the biting wind or down below, protected only by hats and gloves, opened the tap hole, there was hellish noise, poisonous gases and sticky dust that ate into the lungs. This tour should also remind you of that. Explore the casting hall, bunker pockets, etc. and look forward to a fiery evening. The torches are available on loan for the duration of the tour.

The history of the Meiderich ironworks, the technology and working conditions are told expertly and clearly on this tour. Follow the “Path of the Iron” through the blast furnace from the “Gout” to the “Torpedo Ladle Car”. Be impressed by the sheer confusing multitude of scaffolding, pipes, boilers, stairs and platforms. Here the great importance of this industrial monument for the mining industry can be felt first-hand. Today, the new use makes the Meidericher Hütte a symbol of the structural change in the region. For almost two hours you will be immersed in the field of smelting and industrial history, blast furnace technology and a busy cultural site. The tour is not barrier-free.

Where iron once flowed through the factory's casting halls, modern technology is now used to search for hidden treasures. The combination of searching for locations using GPS coordinates and solving sometimes tricky tasks makes this expedition through the old ironworks a varied fun for families with children and for adults. Whether you explore the route with your own GPS device, your own smartphone or with our rental equipment is up to you. When ordering, you can choose between three road books with different levels of difficulty, depending on how old the treasure hunters are. When you start your adventure is up to you: you can pick up the road book at the visitor center during opening hours. The reward is definitely a treasure that has something to do with the landscape park and the ironworks.
