Duisburg

a city in the Federal Republic of Germany, in the Land of Nordrhein-Westphalen. Population, 457,900 (1970), compared with 501,000 in 1963 and 434,600 in 1939. Situated on the right bank of the Rhine, at the mouth of the Ruhr River and the beginning of the Rhine-Herne Canal.

Duisburg, one of West Germany’s major river ports (Duisburg-Ruhrort), is accessible to ocean vessels and had a freight turnover of 40.5 million tons in 1969. It is also West Germany’s second most important railroad hub, with a freight turnover of 21 million tons in 1968, and a major industrial center, employing about 150,000 workers. Duisburg contains about one-fourth of the production capacity of West Germany’s ferrous metallurgy (the August Thyssen Foundry, the Niederrheinische Foundry, and the Ruhrort-Meiderich plant) and a considerable part of nonferrous metallurgy (the Duisburger Copper Foundry plants). Also concentrated in Duisberg are the output of structural steel and heavy machines (the Demag, Mannesmann, and other plants), as well as river shipbuilding (more than one-third of river shipbuilding in West Germany is done in Duisberg). Other industries include oil refining, chemical production (including petrochemistry, basic inorganic chemistry, and coal chemistry), flour milling, beer brewing, and tobacco processing. There are coal mines in Duisburg and its surroundings. Cargoes arriving on the Rhine include mostly ores, scrap metals, petroleum, lumber products, and grain; exports are mainly coal, coke, metals, and machines. Welding and river-shipbuilding institutes are located in Duisburg. Four bridges span the Rhine. The city has been known since the 13th century. Several suburbs were incorporated into Duisburg in 1905 and even more in 1929, including such important centers as Ruhrort.
