In what is probably Germany's newest town stands the first cooling tower to be reinforced using the latest carbon fibre (CFRP) strengthening technology. The steel works near Fürstenberg (Oder) was founded in 1950 and the EKO new town (30 km south of Frankfurt/Oder) was christened "Stalinstadt". It was given its present name of "Eisenhüttenstadt" in 1961. The EKO steel works belongs to the largest steel group in the world, ARCELOR (a merger of ARBED (Luxembourg), ACERALIA (Spain) and USINOR (France).
