Phoenix-West blast furnace (formerly Hoerder Verein, last operated by Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp, decommissioned in 1998). The area is currently in the process of being turned into a modern technology plant. Some of the remaining structures of the ironworks are intended to be incorporated into the new facilities, while others are supposed to be turned into a museum site. One blast furnace has been preserved, a second one has been mostly dismantled, only the outer frame, the Cowper stoves and the lower portion of the furnace itself remain. The site is currently only accessible to the public as part of guided tours along a walkway called the "Skywalk Dortmund". However, unlike other sites in Germany, the inside of the remains of blast furnace 6 is accessible to the public.
The outer frame of blast furnace 6 is considered for a re-purposed use. A colorful light installation illuminates the plant at special occasions in the summer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_preserved_historic_blast_furnaces#Germany_2

Industrial culture similar to the landscape park in Duisburg (Favorite) and most worthwhile (open 24 hours) and also the Henrichtshütte (closed in the evening) in Hattingen.
