Bridge over the railway port at Duisburg Homberg, which in the old days served as a shipping aid of the traject Duisburg Homberg / Ruhrort, when there was no bridge across the Rhine at this point of the Rhine. In the background there is the lifting tower, with which the goods were transported to the steam ships. Today in the railway harbour there are boats of different institutions, including a training ship of the boatmen. This lifting tower is the exact equivalent of the lifting tower once existing at the railway basin in Disburg Ruhrort, but there they teared it down.
Brücke über den Eisenbahnhafen in Duisburg Homberg, der einst als Verschiffungshilfe des Trajektes Duisburg Homberg / Ruhrort diente, als es noch keine Rheinbrücke an dieser Stelle des Rheins gab. Im Hintergrund der Hebeturm, mit dem die Güter damals auf die Dampfschiffe befördert wurden. Heute liegen im Eisenbahnhafen Schiffe verschiedenere Institutionen, unter anderem auch ein Schulschiff der Binnenschiffer. Der Hebeturm fand sein Gegenstück im Eisenbahnbassin Duisburg Ruhrort, dort wurde er allerdings abgerissen.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
