January 4, 2017

Kulturinsel is a little island hosting regular art and music events at the southwest corner of the man-made Phoenix Lake, created 2010 by filling water into the hole left by excavating the contaminated soil of the removed Phoenix Steel factory which occupied this site since 1840. Connected to the Harbor Promenade with a permanent bridge framed by the artsy Corten Steel gate, the island is also the permanent exhibit of the Thomasbirne, or Thomas Converter, which was used here until 1964 to refine and pour molten steel into moulds.

Kulturinsel Phoenixsee with Thomas converter

The Thomas converter, popularly known as Thomas bulb, is a remnant of the steelworks formerly on the site of today's Phoenix Lake. The Thomas pear is today on the so-called "cultural island" on the lake. Here are various events to take place. From the slightly offshore island visitors have a good view of the "harbor" and the lake area.

Some seats offer possibility to rest here.
