The restaurant Hauptschalthaus is located in the former control centre of an ironworks in Duisburg. Its main attraction is the dining area in front of some huge insulators. Through the big windows, one also has a good view of the ironworks situated at the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord.
While having dinner, I had a close view of high-voltage switch gears and insulators. In earlier times, this gear was used to control the electrical power of the ironworks next to the restaurant.
For dinner, I had a braised stew of ox with root vegetables and herb dumplings. A quirky surprise was that the bread was served in a hard hat.
