    Hiking

    Former Matena Tunnel, which is unfortunately now filled in and is therefore no longer accessible.
    This is also a filming location for the Schimanski series.

    The Matenatunnel connected the Duisburg districts of Bruckhausen and Alsum, passing under the ThyssenKrupp Hamborn plant. The first documented mention of a road along this route dates back to 1727. With the expansion of August Thyssen's steel and rolling mill from 1889 onwards, the route was repeatedly adapted. Finally, in 1912, the tunnel was opened to separate the plant and the road. Since 2013, the tunnel has been closed due to structural damage: Some of the photos are from 2012, shortly before its closure.

    This tunnel, which is still preserved today, is a listed building, but has been closed since 2013 and the entrances filled up.
    In many Schimanski crime scenes you can see "Schimmi" or Thanner driving through it.


    It's a shame that you can no longer use it today, it was always an experience
    on foot by bike or car.
