Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord | Industrienatur + Industriekultur
What is nature and culture in a post-industrial landscape? This is a narrative with some pictures and video clips about the industrial nature and industrial culture of a steel mill - turned - leisure park in the city of Duisburg inf the Ruhrgebiet, Germany designed by German Landscape Architects: Latz + Partner.
Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord
Im Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord verbinden sich auf einer rund 180 Hektar großen Fläche Industriekultur, Natur und ein faszinierendes Lichtspektakel zu einer weltweiten nahezu einmaligen Parklandschaft.

Landschaftspark is a public park located in Duisburg-Meiderich, Germany. It was designed in 1991 by Latz + Partner, with the intention that it work to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it. The park closely associates itself with the past use of the site: a coal and steel production plant (abandoned in 1985, leaving the area significantly polluted) and the agricultural land it had been prior to the mid 19th century.
In 1991, a co-operative-concurrent planning procedure with five international planning teams was held to design the park. Peter Latz’s design was significant, as it attempted to preserve as much of the existing site as possible (Diedrich, 69). Unlike his competitors, Latz recognized the value of the site’s current condition (Weilacher, 106). He allowed the polluted soils to remain in place and be remediated through phytoremediation, and sequestered soils with high toxicity in the existing bunkers. He also found new uses for many of the old structures, and turned the former sewage canal into a method of cleansing the site.
The park is divided into different areas, whose borders were carefully developed by looking at existing conditions (such as how the site had been divided by existing roads and railways, what types of plants had begun to grow in each area, etc.). This piecemeal pattern was then woven together by a series of walkways and waterways, which were placed according to the old railway and sewer systems. While each piece retains its character, it also creates a dialogue with the site surrounding it. Within the main complex, Latz emphasized specific programmatic elements: the concrete bunkers create a space for a series of intimate gardens, old gas tanks have become pools for scuba divers, concrete walls are used by rock climbers, and one of the most central places of the factory, the middle of the former steel mill, had been made into a piazza. Each of these spaces uses elements to allow for a specific reading of time.
The site was designed with the idea that a grandfather, who might have worked at the plant, could walk with his grandchildren, explaining what he used to do and what the machinery had been used for. At Landschaftspark, memory was central to the design. Various authors have addressed the ways in which memory can inform the visitor of a site, a concept that became prevalent during Postmodernism.
Peter Latz gained his first important experiences in dealing with derelict industrial sites in 1985, when designing the Harbour Island, a public park on a destroyed harbour site in Saarbrücken (Weilacher, 82). However, the concept of remaking an industrial site are not new. Rather, several landscape architects have worked within this realm. Works such as Alphand’s Parc des Buttes Chaumont that were constructed in old quarries do not hide the past of the site, but rather work to enforce it. Richard Haag’s Gas Works Park in Seattle was an important predecessor to the Landschaftspark. Rather than removing the gasworks, the design allowed parts of it to stay in place and created a mound where the soil was being remediated, allowing people to understand the process of change. Peter Latz, takes these ideas and pushes them further as he uses materials on the site to show their transient nature as they change and decompose, transforming into something else. Landschaftspark at Duisburg Nord had a clear intention of using the site to develop its program. Within this context, each programmatic element is given a specific identity that illustrates time, while showing change in different ways. Each visitor is allowed to experience the park in their own way and create their own story. Marot explains that as the visitor is able to experience “ambivalent readings of place,” their memory will be sparked in new way, giving that place more depth (86). Marot finishes his book, Architecture and the Art of Memory, by insisting, “territories must be deepened” to provide places where memory can be fostered for cultural needs. Latz has worked to do this at Duisburg Nord in many ways (Weilacher, 102) and it has been declared as a highly successful cultural park (Steinglass, 129).

Climbing Blast Furnace No 5 at Landschaftspark in Duisburg Nord
Yesterday's industrial plants may become tomorrow's tourist attractions. Some already are.
In Duisburg, an old iron works has become a landscape park, The Landschaftspark, which is now one of Germany's leading industrial tourism attractions. The works closed more than thirty years ago before being turned into a free museum of industry and nature, preserving the twisted tangled structure for visitors to wander and explore at any time of the day or night.
We spent three hours exploring the park's orienteering trail and climbing the rusting hulk of blast furnace number 5 while elsewhere in the park visitors enjoyed outdoor cinema, via Ferrata, climbing, cycling trails and picnicking around the ironworks.
Is this the future for dying industry? It employs as many people today as it did producing pig iron.

Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord Landscape Park
Der Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord (auch kurz LaPaNo oder LaPaDu, im Volksmund „Landi) ist ein etwa 200 Hektar großer Landschaftspark rund um ein stillgelegtes Hüttenwerk in Duisburg-Meiderich, der im Rahmen der Internationalen Bauausstellung Emscher Park entstand. Der Landschaftspark ist einer der Ankerpunkte der Europäischen Route der Industriekultur sowie der Route der Industriekultur im Ruhrgebiet.
Das frühere Werk wurde 1901 von der damaligen „Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort, später eine Tochter der Thyssen-Gruppe, gegründet. Die insgesamt fünf Hochöfen produzierten in ihren 84 Jahren 37 Millionen Tonnen Spezialroheisen -- in der Regel als Vorprodukt für die Weiterverarbeitung in den Thyssen'schen Stahlwerken.
Die Hochöfen 3 und 4 wurden bereits 1968 bzw. 1970 abgerissen. Die Hochöfen 1 und 2 wurden 1982 stillgelegt, so dass nur noch der erst 1973 erbaute Hochofen 5 in Betrieb blieb. 1985 wurde dieser nach gerade mal zwölf Jahren Betriebszeit aufgrund von Überkapazitäten auf dem europäischen Stahlmarkt ebenfalls stillgelegt. Thyssen verlagerte die Stahlproduktion in die umliegenden, wesentlich größeren und moderner ausgerüsteten Hauptproduktionsflächen am Rhein (Werksteile Bruckhausen und Schwelgern, heute Teil von ThyssenKrupp Steel).
In der Folgezeit wurde das alte Gelände zwischen Hamborn und Meiderich mit allen Gebäuden und den verbliebenen drei Hochöfen Projekt der Internationalen Bauausstellung „Emscher Park und für einen internationalen Architekturwettbewerb ausgeschrieben, den die Landschaftsarchitekten Peter Latz + Partner gewannen. Seit 1988 unterstützt auch der Verein Interessengemeinschaft Nordpark Duisburg die Pläne einer Umsetzung. Von 1990 bis 1999 wurden die Hallen, Gebäude und das Außengelände nach den Plänen der Architekten umgestaltet und so umnutzbar gemacht, dass der Park in Fachkreisen heute zu den wichtigsten Projekten der Landschaftsarchitektur der Jahrtausendwende zählt. 1994 wurde der Park der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Er bildet nun einen Ankerpunkt auf der Route der Industriekultur und ist in die Europäische Route der Industriekultur integriert.
Vergleichbare, museale, jedoch deutlich kleinere Hochofen-Ensembles finden sich in Hattingen mit der früheren Henrichshütte, ebenfalls zuletzt ein Betrieb der Thyssen AG, und in Dortmund-Hörde mit den verbliebenen zwei Hochöfen der Hoesch AG auf Phoenix-West.
The Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord (also short LaPaNo or LaPaDu, popularly known as Landi), a 200-acre country park is around a disused steelworks in Duisburg-Meiderich, which was created as part of the International Building Exhibition Emscher Park. The Country Park is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage and the Route of Industrial Heritage in the Ruhr.The former factory was founded in 1901 by the then Rhenish Steel Works to Meiderich at Ruhr place, later a subsidiary of the Thyssen group. The five blast furnaces produced in their 84 years 37 million tonnes of special cast iron - usually as a precursor for further processing in the Thyssen'schen steel mills.The blast furnaces 3 and 4 were in 1968 and demolished in 1970. The blast furnaces 1 and 2 were shut down in 1982, leaving only the 5 blast furnace was built in 1973 remained in operation. In 1985 this was also shut down in the European steel market after just twelve years of operation due to overcapacity. Thyssen moved the steel production in the surrounding, much larger and modern fitted main production areas on the Rhine (factory Bruckhausen and Schwelgern, now part of ThyssenKrupp Steel).In the period following the old road between Hamborn and Meiderich with all buildings and the remaining three blast furnaces of the International Building project Emscher Park and for an international architectural competition was announced by the landscape architect Peter Latz + Partners won. Since 1988, the club Duisburg Nord interest group supports the plans for implementation. From 1990 to 1999, the halls, buildings and the outside grounds were redesigned by the architects and umnutzbar made so that the park is now one of the most important in the art of landscape architecture projects of the millennium. In 1994 the park was opened to the public. It now forms an anchor point on the route of industrial culture and is integrated into the European Route of Industrial Heritage.Comparable, museum, however, significantly smaller blast furnace ensembles can be found in Hattingen with the previous Henrichshütte, also a last operation of Thyssen AG, and Dortmund-Horde with the remaining two blast furnaces of Hoesch AG Phoenix-West.

Places to see in ( Duisburg - Germany )
Duisburg is a city in western Germany, at the junction of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. It's known for its large harbor and the Innenhafen (Inner Harbour), a waterfront dining and nightlife district. The Museum Küppersmühle has a collection of modern German art, and the Lehmbruck Museum displays modern sculpture. The site of an old ironworks, Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord is now a park with trails and a ropes course.
Duisburg, about 25km west of Essen, is home to Europe’s largest inland port, the immensity of which is best appreciated on a boat tour. Embarkation is at the Schwanentor, which is also the gateway to the Innenhafen Duisburg (inner harbour), an urban quarter with a mix of modern and restored buildings infused with museums, restaurants, bars, clubs and attractions set up in the old storage silos.
Duisburg is a German city in the western part of the Ruhr area (Ruhrgebiet) in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is a metropolitan borough with a population of just under 500,000. With the world's biggest inland harbour and its proximity to Düsseldorf International Airport, Duisburg has become an important venue for commerce and steel production. Contemporary Duisburg is a result of numerous incorporations of surrounding towns and smaller cities. It is the twelfth-largest city in Germany and the fifth-largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The core city was founded in the 5th century AD as a marketplace on the Westphalian Hellweg trade route, a ford on the river Rhine and the border between the Frankish Empire and the Duchy of Saxons. Around 740 it became one of several royal courts of Francia, it was first mentioned in a chronicle dated 883 AD as one of the Rhenish places conquered by Normans. 16th-century cartographer Gerardus Mercator, creator of seminal globes and atlases as well as the Mercator projection still used in modern world maps, lived, worked and taught in Duisburg for forty years.
Since the late 19th century, the city is renowned for its steel industry, being Central Europe's leading site in this sector. All seven blast furnaces in the Ruhr are now located in Duisburg, producing half of the pig iron and a third of the crude steel made in Germany. Coal-mining, on the other hand, has never played the big role it had in other places on the Ruhr. As Germany's heavy industries have lost importance since the mid-20th century (due to the rise of plastics and relocation of production to low-wage countries), Duisburg had to go through a major structural transformation, losing tens of thousands of jobs in the steel mills while creating new ones in the services and logistics sectors.
Duisburg-Ruhrort, on the confluence of rivers Ruhr and Rhine, has long been and still is Europe's biggest inland harbour. It has successfully kept up with the times, replacing its facilities for break bulk and dry bulk cargo in favour of container shipping and modern logistics infrastructure as well as minimising the average laytime of ships from more than a day to only a few hours. Duisburg also aims to be the terminal of a New Silk Road, offering direct freight train links from China. The University of Duisburg-Essen, with 42,000 students, ranks among the 10 largest German universities.
