Duisburg-Ruhrort is the heart of the Port of Duisburg, which is considered the largest inland port in Europe (and often in the world). Located at the confluence of the Ruhr and Rhine rivers, it serves as a central logistics hub for international trade.
Covering an area of over 10 km², waterways, railways, and roads combine to form an efficient network. Particularly impressive is its role as the terminus of the “New Silk Road,” which connects Duisburg directly to China by train. Ruhrort itself exudes a unique maritime charm with its historic facades and the Museum of German Inland Navigation.
