    The Phoenix-West blast furnace plant, founded in the 19th century, is a testament to Dortmund's industrial past and is located in the Hörde district. It symbolizes the steel production that has long been a defining feature of the Ruhr region. After the plant was closed at the end of the 20th century, the site was converted into an innovative commercial and recreational area, with the historic industrial structures being preserved as monuments.
