The row bunkers on the former blast furnaces complex of the Land Duisburg-Nord. The bunkers are now empty and part of the park. Some bunkers have developed activities. So some walls feature klimgreepjes and you can practice the "via ferrata".
The blast furnace complex was built in 1902 by the "Rheinische Stahlwerke bei zu Meiderich Ruhrort", and was later taken over by the Thyssen Group. During the Second World War badly damaged, but it was in the 50s rebuilt. In 1985, the blast furnaces of the complex had become too small to be even more cost-effective, and the complex was closed.
