You would expect this silhouette in Duisburg or Recklinghausen. In Bremen people tend to think of ships. The view is an example of the many facets that Bremen has to offer. A big city with a lot of greenery and many untouched corners.

A contrast, if you come from the green of the NSG Niedervieland and look at the heavy industry of the steelworks.

On the way along the Weser, the old industrial plants are impressive. A real eye-catcher with a special aesthetic. Definitely a treat for all fans of industrial monuments.

Actually, Ulrike has already said everything. So I agree. An interesting place with an extraordinary view.

In 1908 the Norddeutsche Hütte was built. Pig iron was produced in two blast furnaces, which was processed into steel in the Ruhr area. The Admiral mine in Dortmund had belonged to the smelting works since 1918 and supplied the coal for the works' own coking plant. Line 11 of the Bremen tramway has led to the factory gate since 1926. During the German rearmament during the National Socialist period, many forced laborers worked in the hut. After the end of the Second World War, the blast furnaces were dismantled.
Klöckner-Werke AG took over the remains of Norddeutsche Hütte AG in 1954 and began purchasing surrounding land. An integrated iron and steel works was to be built on the former village of Mittelsbüren in the north of Bremen. Integrated means that the blast furnace, steel production and rolling mills together form a smelting works in a plant.
Production started in 1957. The plant now consisted of a blast furnace, a steel mill, a hot rolling mill and a cold rolling mill. Due to its favorable location on the lower reaches of the Weser, the smelting works quickly got the unofficial name "Hut by the Sea". Since then, colloquially, the factory has been called Klöckner for short. The location of the plant has advantages for the transport of coal and steel, as the more cost-effective route can be used by water (port) or by land (railway, road).
In 1965, the Mittelsbüren power plant went into operation on the smelting site in the immediate vicinity of the blast furnaces. The furnace gas and converter gas produced during steel production serve as fuel for this railway power plant operated by swb.
Until 1968, the steel mill was operated according to the Siemens-Martin process. Then the conversion to the Linz-Donawitz process took place.
Until the end of 1979, the Verkehrsgesellschaft Bremerhaven AG (VGB) offered regular bus services to Bremerhaven for employees.
In 2001 a second hot-dip galvanizing line was completed.
In 2002, the steel groups Arbed (Luxembourg), Aceralia (Spain) and Usinor (France) merged to form Arcelor S.A. based in Luxembourg and formed what was at the time the world's largest steel group with an annual crude steel production of around 44.0 million tons.
The capacity of today's iron and steel works is around 4 million tons per year, which is produced by around 3,100 employees. On January 11, 2006, the production of 100,000,000 tons of rolled steel since the establishment of the smelter was celebrated.

Great view of the Bremen steelworks. Especially in good weather, the contrast between the blue sky, green fields and the rusty plant is really interesting.

Here the contrast between nature and industry is clearest. You can watch industrial romance on the hut right by the river. Almost like in the Ruhr area!

One enjoys driving on this green side of the Weser and watching the industry on the right side from afar

This bike path towards the Ochtum barrage with a view of the other side of the river with industrial facilities and harbor is one of the most beautiful routes in Bremen for me.

It's amazing how big the area is. Before that, white and black sheep, what an analogy!
