The face of Dietmar Bär, a Dortmund local and an actor popular nationwide, is showing on this Weingartenstraße billboard. Formerly situated in closest possible proximity to Hoesch Steel's BOS shop (Oxygenstahlwerk), Weingartenstraße used to be the dirtiest street in town. The pipeline in the background is part of the city's gas transportation network, connecting the various Hoesch Steel sites, air fractionation plants, and coking plants across town. Once much larger, the part shown still is transporting nitrogen. Dortmund, Germany.

At the moment, it is replacing its headquarters. The new ones will be errected where the 1955- and 1970-built parts of former one stood.

Vorwärts und nicht vergessen
Klick = Großansicht
Eine schwarz umhüllte (Holz-)Bramme markierte 2001 das Ende der Stahlerzeugung in Dortmund: in den verschiedenen Werksteilen im Stadtgebiet wurden auf einer Fläche zigfach so groß wie die vom Wall eingegrenzte Dortmunder City fast sämtliche Anlagen mitsamt zugehöriger Infrastruktur außer Betrieb gesetzt und anschließend im bisher größten Industrieumzug überhaupt ebenfalls fast sämtlich nach China verkauft. Momentan wird mit Hochdruck an der Tilgung der Spuren der Stahlzeit gearbeitet, damit 2010 alles kulturhauptstädtisch glänzt. Neun Jahre. Was dann aus dem Wahlspruch geworden sein wird?

Helenenstraße/Zollstraße with Krupp power plant and coal mine; Essen-Altendorf, Germany, November 2007; demolition in progress
EXTENDED INFORMATION
In the background two of the few remainders of the Krupp empire in Essen, now both facing demolition: the boiler house, generator house and one of the winding engine houses of Amalie colliery, named after Helene-Amalie Krupp (1732 – 1810) and part of the Friedrich Krupp Bergwerke AG from 1927 on (boiler house left building, turbines and generator house back part of right building, winding engine house of shaft Marie front part of right building).
Krupp was Germany's major weapon supplier in both World Wars. While almost the entire Kruppsche Gußstahlfabrik in Essen was dismantled by the Allies after WW2, the company continues to exist. After the hostile takover of Hoesch, the closure of Rheinhausen and the merger with Thyssen, it is now part of Germany's largest steelmaker ThyssenKrupp. ThyssenKrupp currently is in the process of moving its headquarters to Essen - to the founding site of the Krupp works, to be more precise. Essen will be the European Capital of Culture in 2010.

Laminoirs du Ruau SA, Monceau-sur-Sambre (Charleroi), in service
ENGLISH
Buying into this 1863-founded rolling mill in the north of Charleroi's industrial heart was step one for Albert Frère to become one of Europe's most influential investors. After gaining control over most of Wallonia's steel industry and later selling it to the Belgian state, he diverted into media, energy and financial services. He became known by a wider audience when trying to list his 25.1% Bertelsmann stake at the stock exchange last year; Bertelsmann bought back the stake for 4.5 billion Euros.
DEUTSCH
1863 Gründung der Laminoirs Emile Constant-Bonnehill, 1879 Gründung der Laminoirs du Ruau und Übernahme der alten Gesellschaft, 1905 Auflösung und Gründung der SA des Laminoirs et Boulonneries du Ruau, später Laminoirs & Usines du Ruau, dann Laminoirs du Ruau SA, heute Laminoirs du Ruau SA Gruppo Beltrame.
Mit dem Einstieg in dieses Werk legte Albert Frère im Alter von 30 Jahren den Grundstein zu seinem raschen Aufstieg: Kontrolle großer Teile der wallonischen Stahlindustrie, vermögensbildender Verkauf an den belgischen Staat Ende der 1970er Jahre, Ruin der Wallonie in der kurz darauf einsetzenden Stahlkrise, Einstieg Frères in Medien, Energie und Versicherungen. Hierzulande geriet Frère zuletzt im vorherigen Jahr in die Schlagzeilen: er wollte seinen 25.1-prozentigen Bertelsmann-Anteil, den er unter Middelhoff im Tausch gegen seinen 30-prozentigen RTL Group-Anteil erhalten hatte, an die Börse bringen; Bertelsmann löste ihn für 4,5 Milliarden Euro aus.

Seraing blast furnace to restart?
There is no offical word yet, but all signs indicate that ArcelorMittal will restart the Cockerill Sambre Seraing blast furnace (HF 6) later this year. Arcelor blew out the furnace in 2005 as part of a mid-term plan to shut down the entire hot metal production in the Liège basin and to reduce hot metal capacities across Europe. The merger with Mittal meant a revision of these plans. For now, the idea is to compensate maintenance-related production losses of other European ArcelorMittal sites with Seraing iron, but likely, the entire Liège shutdown plan might be called into question. Last night, the Seraing blast furnace was in full illumination again, a sight not seen for long months. I reported on its closure in these blog postings:

Abandoned KMS vessel (for converting pig iron into crude steel by means of oxygen blown through the bottom of the vessel) at Maxhütte Iron and Steel Works, Bavaria, delivered by VAI Vöest Alpine Industrieanlagenbau, Austria (the name on the supporting ring, now Siemens Metals and Mining Technologies). KMS is an advacement of the original OBM process with lime and coal injection through the bottom and a side tuyere for top-blowing of additional oxygen.
Currently, the shown facilities are undergoing demolition. It's one of the beauties of steel: by design, making fresh means recycling old steel, so the very same device that once produced steel will soon be turned into new one itself.

Rue de la Providence
Click to enlarge (2000px wide!)
The Charleroi quarters of Dampremy and Marchienne are examples of how industrial cities can look like once most of the industry has left and when no public funds for revitalization are at hand: vast industrial areas abandoned long ago but still inaccessible to the public, residential areas - often situated along through roads between industrial sites - in run-down condition, lots of vacancies, street life dominated by migrant workers and their sons. To improve the living situation despite of funds shortage, the majority of unused wall areas and even some walls of working industries were given to a European graffiti festival in 2004. Several kilometers of walls were filled, and likely, the city has seen worse ideas before.

Closed down
An early state of these works, the former Usines et Hauts-Fourneaux de Couillet à Montignies-sur-Sambre, later known as the Usines métallurgiques de Hainaut-Sambre, is shown on these 24 historic postcards.
Let's not forget the famous neighbour, either: in 1863, Ernest Solvay errected a chemical plant right next to the steel works in which he developed the Solvay process for industrial winning of sodium carbonate from brine and limestone. Most of today's world production of soda ash is based on this process.
Plenty of additional information on both facilities in Notice historique sur Couillet (free PDF download): industrie du fer pages 34-36, sidérurgie pages 36-39, la chimie pages 39-42, and industries disparues pages 47-49.

Example of German postwar industrial design
Here is a detail that will give quite some headaches to curators and monument conservators: even with some experience in (re)discovering forgotten places, it is much easier to find well-preserved stone blast furnaces out in the wild, carbochemicals plants left for decades (go to Recklinghausen) or Art Deco factory buildings in absolutely mint condition free of contemporary over-enthusiastic renovations (go to Iserlohn) than, let's say, a signature 1970ies factory office interior in original condition. Some epochs of postwar architecture and (commodity) design have been eradicated so thoroughly that hardly any samples are left. I've got a few things in the queue - let's hope I'll make it there before the demolition teams arrive.

With both major employers shut down after the German unification, the city with a population of 6,300 ranked so high in unemployment statistics that in 2003, it was picked by the Endemol TV company for a Big Brother-like unemployment reality TV show. It's name: Artern - Stadt der Träume, Artern - The City of Dreams. Today the city is betting on more respectable means of business development again, and there are 500 new jobs in the city's new industrial area already - some of them at a new sheet metal pressing plant for the automotive industry.
