Duisburg is the city with the largest steel production in Europe. Disused production sites have been imaginatively transformed and are now among the world's unique monuments of industrial culture. Former factory sites now offer sports, cultural and leisure experiences in an exciting atmosphere.

Duisburg combines apparent opposites to create an exciting metropolitan mix:
Ruhr area and Lower Rhine, industry and rural idyll, shopping malls and drinking halls, philharmonic hall and industrial culture.
