This 13-ton steel anchor was manufactured in Japan in 1999 and intended for an oil rig in the North Sea. Casting defects in the steel rendered the anchor unsuitable for this purpose, and it ended up in Fröndenberg, where it is on display here.

Originally intended for an oil rig in the North Sea, it was unusable and is now a monument… amazing in the area 😉
