You loved this photo: the August Thyssen-Hütte, captured in 1955 by the renowned photographer Herbert List.

With the help of AI, we’ve brought this historic image to life and invite you to join us on a nostalgic bike ride through Duisburg. 🚲

Do you recognize what's happening here? Exactly: a blast furnace tap. 🔥 This photo was taken at the August Thyssen-Hütte blast furnace plant.

Photographer Herbert List captured the scene during a visit to Duisburg in September 1956. In the foreground, two blast furnace workers are carrying out their daily tasks. Their attire may seem unimaginable today, but at the time it was standard: wooden clogs, long coats, and soft felt hats. To cope with the extreme heat generated by the blast furnace, workers would often soak their hats with water for relief.

💡Did you know? Today, specialized aluminized protective suits are a standard part of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used by our blast furnace teams. Designed to reflect infrared radiant heat, these suits help significantly reduce heat absorption and provide essential protection in high-temperature environments.

Good news: Our Hot Strip Mill 4 is back in trial operation! 💪

To celebrate the next step in the restart with you, we're taking you on another tour of the facility. 🎉 Hop aboard a high-speed drone flight through Hot Strip Mill 4, Continuous Casting Line 4, and our fully automated slab yard.

What happened? 🤔 On October 24, 2025, an explosion followed by a fire occurred in the furnace area of the facility in Duisburg. The incident damaged the furnaces in particular, as well as parts of the roof structure. Over the past few months, the affected sections of the facility have been extensively repaired and rebuilt.

A huge thank you to all our colleagues who made the fast repairs possible!

Quite the view, isn’t it? 😮

Captured in 1955 by renowned photographer Herbert List, this image shows the August Thyssen-Hütte steelworks in Duisburg. List, who photographed prominent figures such as Pablo Picasso, visited Duisburg-Hamborn several times between 1954 and 1959.

During those visits, he created a remarkable series of photographs that capture the steelworks from a truly unique perspective.

Quite the view, isn’t it? 🔧

This historic photo from 1955 shows the construction of a blast furnace top gas pipeline connected to Blast Furnace 2 at what was then August Thyssen-Hütte AG. Even back then, blast furnace top gas was used to generate energy in the power plants on-site. 🔥 By consistently reusing by-products, our plant is still able to generate a large share of the electricity it needs today.

📸 The photo was taken by renowned photographer Herbert List, who created several photo series documenting August Thyssen-Hütte between 1954 and 1959.

At our steel plant, powerful forces are at work. In some areas, temperatures exceed 2,000°C as chemical reactions turn iron ore into steel, while rolling mills press multi-ton slabs into thin steel sheets.🔥

When light and steel come together – and our photographers capture the perfect moment – images are created that reveal both these forces and the unique beauty of our plant.

Can you tell what this is? 🤔 That's right: it’s our fabric filter in Duisburg!

It’s much more than a striking landmark. As part of the sinter plant’s technical infrastructure, it plays an important role in treating process gases. Dust is a natural by-product of the sintering process, but our fabric filter system captures even the finest particles, helping keep emissions low.

A great example of how modern industrial architecture shapes our Duisburg site.

The trained eye spots it right away: the slab.

A slab is a compact, rectangular block of steel that is continuously cast in a continuous caster at temperatures above 1,000 °C and then cut into lengths.

After being temporarily stored in slab yards and mostly cooled down, they are sent to the rolling mill. Slabs serve as the raw material for producing hot strip, which is then wound into coils.

The size and properties of slabs vary from plant to plant and depend on their final application. At our continuous caster 4 in Duisburg-Bruckhausen, slabs with the following dimensions are mainly produced for the automotive industry:

📏 Slab width: 90–180 cm
📏 Slab thickness: 25.7 cm

And how heavy is a steel slab like this? It all depends on its size. It can weigh anywhere between 10 and 40 tons. 🏋️

The photo was taken in our slab preparation area. This is where slabs are stored and prepared for further processing in the hot strip mill. At this stage, their surface quality is inspected and, if necessary, the slabs are deburred or ground.

Roll turners were once a highly specialized metalworking profession requiring exceptional concentration and precision. They were responsible for grinding, milling and finishing the profiles on rolling mill rolls.

💡 Why does this matter? Rolls, such as work rolls, are used in hot strip mills to transform slabs into long steel strips – they determine the strip’s shape, thickness and surface quality.

Because the rolls have a major impact on product quality, roll turners carried great responsibility. After each machining step, the profiles were checked with micrometer precision. 🔎

What about today? Roll turning remains an important part of steel production. However, it no longer exists as a standalone apprenticeship – these tasks are now carried out by machinists.

Looks pretty high-tech — because it is: our sinter plant in Duisburg! 🔥

The sinter plant is an essential part of steel production, connecting the port and the blast furnace in the production process. Here, iron ore fines are fused together with additives, coke and additional materials to form “sinter cake”, since the ore is too fine to be used directly in the blast furnace.

And what’s shimmering in the background? ✨ That’s our fabric filter. It captures the finest dust particles created during the sintering process and reliably removes particulate matter from the air.
