Probably the last chance, after the demolition of the LD steel plant of Henrichshütte in Hattingen, to preserve a converter steel plant in Germany is wasted.
The OBM (Oxygen-Bodenblasen-Maxhütte) melt shop in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, built in 1974, with it’s three bottom blowing 65 t converters and the 1200 t hot metal mixer is under demoltion and will soon be gone:

Ten years ago, in September 2002, the Maxhütte in Sulzbach Rosenberg, Germany was closed for good. It was Bavaria’s last integrated steel mill and dates back to the Eisenwerk-Gesellschaft Maximilianshütte founded in 1853.
