Description
The approximately 100-metre-high Rheinpreußen slagheap is like a bridgehead between the Lower Rhine and the Ruhr region. The Rheinpreußen slagheap occupies a special position within the concept of "Landmarks of Industrial Culture" that encompasses the entire Ruhr region. As the first colliery site on the left bank of the Lower Rhine, the history and values of mining are particularly reflected here. Above all through the Geleucht. The well-known artist Otto Piene designed the landmark especially for this slag heap as an imaginary bow to the great mining tradition. It was completed in 2007. Both together - the slag heap and the Geleucht - have since been part of the Route of Industrial Culture.
