The Thomaskonverter, popularly known as Thomas pear, is a holdover from the steelworks that used to stand on the site of today's Phoenix Lake. The Thomas pear is now on the so-called "culture island" by the lake. Various events are to take place here. From the offshore island, visitors have a good view of the "harbor" and the lake area.
Some seating offers the opportunity to take a break here.
The pear-shaped 68 ton Thomas Converter, since 2010 a monument on a little island in the small man-made Phoenix lake at the site of the former Phoenix steel plant, was used until 1964 to refine and pour molten steel into moulds. The Thomas process was replaced by a better method at the end of the 1960s fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9_Thomas
