Work and everyday life in industry

Welcome to the steel hall, the heart of DASA. Here you will find our giant, the E-furnace, where scrap was turned into steel. Or you can discover our rolling mill. It flattens steel, for example into streetcar tracks.

If you want to tickle your ears, you can visit the noise tunnel, and if you like things a bit hot, the fire protection area is just the place for you. Or take a look at the energy hall. There you can find out exciting details about energy.

And then there are the raw materials and goods that are transported around the globe - at great expense and with a lot of work. There are many dangers involved. They can emanate from substances that industry produces and that we use every day. What increasingly concerns us in this context: How do we protect ourselves and our livelihoods sustainably? If you're interested, take a look at the hazardous materials hall.
