    It's great that you can visit the company premises with the impressive buildings of industrial culture. A skywalk in the steelworks can only be recommended on every tour, as it only makes the dimensions and the working conditions of the time really clear

    The Phoenix West steelworks in Dortmund has a long industrial history that is closely linked to the development of the city and the Ruhr region. The steelworks' beginnings date back to the late 19th century, when the industrial revolution in Germany reached its peak.

    The plant was originally founded by the Dortmund Union for the purpose of iron and steel production. It quickly became one of the most important industrial locations in the region, particularly because of its role in supplying steel for shipbuilding and the construction of railway lines, which significantly drove industrial expansion in Germany.
