    This old blast furnace is very impressive.
    Oh, if it were "only" small blast furnaces.

    Phoenix West in Dortmund is a fascinating example of structural change in the Ruhr area. Originally, the area was a blast furnace plant, which had been an important site for steel production since its founding in 1852. After the plant was closed in 1998, the site was extensively redesigned and developed into a modern commercial and leisure area. Today, there are over 60 companies there, particularly in the fields of micro and nanotechnology, IT and production technology, which make the area a location for innovation.

    Gives a good impression of the size of the former production facilities!
