Dive into industrial history in Essen's heart
Did you know?
The heritage-protected hall, once part of the Krupp cast steel factory, has served as a parking garage for a furniture store since 1992.
Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place where the air once vibrated with the sound of massive machinery. Right here, where cars now park, colossal pieces of metal were forged and shaped to change the world. Look to your left, where the sturdy steel beams still hold up the ceiling. This hall was part of the legendary Krupp cast steel factory, a symbol of the industrial boom in the region. Did you know these Krupp works were once known as the 'Armory of the German Empire'? Now, you're surrounded by a quiet reverence, a stark contrast to the bustling energy of the past. And behind you, you can spot the Colosseum Theater, another relic of the industrial age now offering culture and entertainment.
