In no other recent year, the face of Dortmund has changed more than in 2003. In no other recent year, it has been so profitable to run a demolition business. After the demolition of two complete large-scale steel mills that surrounded the inner city [and a large-scale gasometer in the north], excavators are now roaring right inside the city and remove the old Dortmunder Union Brauerei. By the end of this year, nothing will be left, except the central building with the illuminated U on top - one of the central landmarks of the city. Around it, Brau und Brunnen breweries will group their new headquarters.
