The following images show the slow death of the
former Krupp steelworks at Rheinhausen.
My first image dates from 1979 and still shows
three of the old blast furnaces.

About ten years later only two of the old furnaces
remain in a pitiful state.

One year before closure: two blast furnaces are still active.

A misleading image: the furnace, seemingly still intact, is already dead, it's days are counted.
