The former Hoesch site in Dortmund illuminated
Former Phoenix-West blast furnace plant in Dortmund-Hörde with blast furnace, Phoenix Hall and Skywalk as well as surrounding slag heaps.
The Phoenix West site is the symbol of a flourishing metal industry in Dortmund. The disused blast furnace bears witness to the region's former dominance as a producer of pig iron.
A few metres away, the old gasometer of the former blast furnace plant dominates the skyline of the south of Dortmund. The huge, 76.5 metre high cylinder with a capacity of 120,000 cubic metres is still unused. The neighbourhood, which is in the midst of change, is home to modern craft breweries, avant-garde art galleries and picturesque parks that enliven the district. The blast furnaces and the Hoesch gasometer bear witness to this glorious era in Dortmund's industrial history.
