In the location's words:

Phönix West is a cool industrial park in Dortmund. There are lots of hip events, great street art and cool locations for chilling out and partying. The perfect place for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

The Phoenix West site is a symbol of Dortmund's flourishing metal industry. The disused blast furnace bears witness to the region's former dominance as a producer of pig iron.

A few meters away, the old gasometer of the former blast furnace plant dominates the skyline of the south of Dortmund. The huge, 76.5 meter high cylinder with a capacity of 120,000 cubic meters is still unused. The district, which is in the midst of change, is home to modern craft breweries, avant-garde art galleries and picturesque parks that enliven the neighborhood. The blast furnaces and the Hoesch gasometer bear witness to this glorious era in Dortmund's industrial history.

The Phoenixhalle, renamed "Phoenix des Lumières", is a renovated and converted industrial building that houses immersive digital exhibitions.
