1985 came the start of the end. The ironworks in Duisburg-Meiderich were shut down. After 82 years and a production of 37 million tons pig iron the furnace was out, or better said, the three furnaces.

The new start was not the demolition, but the transformation into a park, which you does not find so fast again. An attraction we have to owe to the light artist Jonathan Park. He let the factory light up in a new shine.
