The district of Rheinhausen, on the left bank of the Rhine, is closely tied to the history of the Krupp ironworks. In 2026 a new heritage trail opens in the Rheinpark Rheinhausen, commemorating the steel tradition and the legendary labour dispute over the works' closure in the late 1980s. In recent years, logistics areas and green corridors along the Rhine have emerged on the site of the former ironworks. Information stelae along the trail document the quarter's transformation with photos and eyewitness accounts.
