    Here, on today's Berliner Platz, was the main entrance to the Krupp cast steel factory. This occupied up to 5 km² in the west of Essen and primarily served the armaments industry. During the Second World War, the plant was largely destroyed or dismantled or shut down after the end of the war.

    Today, from Berliner Platz, you can still see the former VIII. mechanical workshop (now "Colosseum Theater"), the industrial railway bridge and the former press and hammer works East (now "IKEA").
