Oh awesome location 👌Needs to be on my list, Duisburg is about 1,5hrs drive from where I live so could be a day out photographing :) Is it really open 24hrs or are there opening times?
That whole area is interesting if you like industrial stuff. And yes, it’s always open unless there are thunderstorms or heavy winds. In evenings they sometimes have the buildings illuminated in different colours. Check out their website for more info…
I love how you’ve captured the various ways nature has reclaimed parts of the old ironworks. The different colours and textures but also the architecture that remains. It looks like a fascinating place to explore. Wonderful stuff.
Wonderful set of images Susanne....and what an amazing place! I love that nature has taken over and that it has been nurtured further into a public park.
thanks Susanne. I liked all of your pictures a lot, but particularly the ones with interesting shadows like the second one and one of my think it’s a bridge stanchion also with shadows. It’s neat they leave the old factory works up as a Park. It’s very picturesque. Again, thank you for the nice photos.
Thank you for looking and commenting, Greg! The light and shadow play in this place is just amazing. I am glad we had such luck with the weather that day.
Thank you, Paul! So good to hear it resonates. It is a special place. I am sure you would to walk around with your camera there. So much to explore there.
Pretty sure if Transformers had to hide out somewhere in plain sight … it would be here :)
It would definitely a great spot to hide for them! 😃
I love the tonality of these, Susanne. They're all so consistent as well. The last photo made me smile!
Thank you, Juliette! That is Ben‘s specialty - making people smile! 😉
Love the one with the plants coming out of the concrete!
Thank you, Youssef! I love how nature takes the place back one weed at a time.
Susanne, I love the way you take photographs and the way you arrange them for us to see! My favourite one is that shadow the second photo.
Thank you, Shital for this wonderful feedback. I am glad to hear it works for you and resonates.
Me too! Magnificent photosgraphs.
Thanks so much! So good to hear!
I love these! Especially the super shadowy one! And that dog is ominous!
This place is just fascinating!
this might be my favourite set from you!
Interesting to hear. Thank you!
Such a great "happy place" to be.

Thank you, Lin! It is truly an amazing place and I am thankful that it hasn’t been just demolished…
Cool! I've never heard of an abandoned industrial complex made into a public park, I think of them as places to sneak into in order to see!
Well, that is usually the case. But some smart people decided not to demolish it.

Excellent series, and well presented. Somehow Industrial themes are so visually satisfying to me, I would have a great time there!

Wonderful set of this space Susanne, love how nature and architecture find a common ground to co-exist.
That last picture though!
Thank you, Xavi! It is such an amazing place. I love your description of "Finding a common ground" for nature and architecture.
Susanne, very interesting photos and such a fascinating place. I love the colors.
Thank you, Pamela! It is a fascinating place and a piece of German’s industrial history. I love how they turned this place into a public park.
