The Ruhr district has arisen and grown by the coal mines as the most important energy supplier for the reconstruction after the war. Thousands of workers came with her families here. There were enough work and apartments. How early settlements were built around a castle, the Ruhr district grew around its coal mines. Today, only a few mines are still operating and some winding towers, some of them are made to industry monuments, show of the former "coal factories".
Once a location of the industry with workplaces for many hundred people. Today a landscape park made for leisure time and culture. The former steelworks direct at the freeway A42 in the Duisburg north.

Here you can simply recover, go for a walk and be amazed of the industry, take a look behind the scenes of the once high industry walls.... The former steelworks, where they melted in the time of 1903 to 1985 about 37 million tons of iron, at first should be broken off and the area leveled. But citizen protests prevented the demolition of the plant. Since then the Landscape Park "Duisburg North" arose as a project of the international making exhibition "Emscher park (IBA)". All areas and parts of the industry location can be inspected and understood now.

The raw materials for
the steel production was delivered with the train. The big portal
crane served to unload ores and other raw materials, sort and put down
into the different stock bunkers, the so-called "Möllerbunker".
Today trees grow in the single departments of the stock bunkers. |

On 9-1-2003 weather, strength and direction of the wind
was correct to take air photos from a part of the large plant. For this I have
gone along at the large wall up to the old Emscher and have started my kite on
the big free area between the ore bunkers and the Emscher. The wind blew a
little gustily with changing wind speeds today. At this conditions I always have
quite a number of start difficulties with the Fow Form kite, primarily if the
area from whose direction the wind comes is built on or wooded. To overfly the
gusty area I have left the kite rather high and only then hung the camera into
the line.
After approx. two hours of kiting, walking around, lifting and photographing,
the sky then has covered and it began to rain easily. So I have gone home to
look at the pictures
| The big
pipeline has always fascinated me besides many other things in this
plant.
At my last start on this day I have tried to come near over the old double pipe with the camera to make some photos lengthways direction. |
