Because of its good connections to the regional road networks and its geographical location away from residential areas, this site at a former slag heap is well-suited for use with particularly intensive road transport levels. The area at the Holthauser Bach has been designated as a special area for cargo traffic centers according to planning law. A part of the site has also been given permission for use as a wind power plant.
The former coal and steel industry site was developed and marketed by the GVZ Entwicklungs GmbH in a joint project with the owner ThyssenKrupp Immobilien GmbH and the Montan-Grundstücksgesellschaft mbH (MGG).
IKEA was the first to arrive with its distribution center and within two years the Customer Distribution Center was erected and opened in September 2003.
The basic reason for settling here was the direct connection to the Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) network, which was implemented in a very short time because of the mine railway track system that already existed. In 2005 IKEA bought the greater part of the remaining area (71 hectares) for the construction of its new Europa Warehouse.
