The Thyssen-Krupp towers on the Duisburg Rhine are still smoking heavily. Steel is still produced here using technology from the 19th and 20th centuries. This hardly makes any profit anymore, taxpayers' money keeps the whole thing running. And the future no longer looks rosy. Energy costs have exploded, global corporations like BASF are moving to China. With the exception of SAP, Germany has no digital giants of the new age, the cars of the future will come from Tesla and the Far East. The decline is particularly visible in the old West. BILD traveled through places in the Rhine-Ruhr region and "listened to what the people are saying," as the reformer Martin Luther once called it.
