Totem with Magpie Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Shortly after the Bird Woman comes the artwork Totem with Magpie. The "Ghosts of the Emscher Valley" consisted of the two works "Bird Woman" and "Totem with Magpie", which were installed on the southern bank of the Phoenix Lake in Dortmund-Hörde during the exhibition and then moved to the Emscher-Weg on the other side of the lake. A third sculpture "Observer (Oraculum)" was located on the site of the Hansa coking plant in Dortmund-Huckarde and is no longer preserved. Source: emscherkunstweg.de

View of Phoenix Lake

Highlight • Lake

The approximately 24-hectare lake, stretching 1.2 kilometers in length and about 320 meters in width, has become a small oasis for relaxation and sports.

It's hard to believe that at the turn of the millennium, this area wasn't a lake, not even an open space, but a fully operational steelworks of incredible size.

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund

Highlight • Lake

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is a man-made lake in the Hörde district, created on the former site of the Phoenix-Ost steelworks. After the steelworks was closed in 2001, the site was remediated and flooded in 2010 to create a new residential and recreational area. The lake covers approximately 24 hectares and is surrounded by a 3.2-kilometer circular path for pedestrians and cyclists. From the Kaiserberg dump to the east, there is a magnificent view of the recreational and new development area.

Covered Rest Area at the Marina

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to have a rest, the bench is covered so you don't get wet even when it rains. The view over the lake has a wonderfully calming effect.

View of Hörde Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Hörder Burg (Hörde castle) is located in the south-east of Dortmund, close to the river Emscher, now right at the new harbor plaza of the 2010 created Phoenix Lake. It was built in the 12th century, with the contemporary tower still containing the original tower building, and today houses a museum. The rest of the castle complex mostly dates from the 1890s, when the steel manufacturer who had bought the area in 1840 converted the building and new annexes into office space. In front of the castle recent excavations are visible that document remains of the original castle foundations and artifacts found during excavation.

One of Germany's largest urban development projects is Lake Phoenix in Dortmund-Hörde. On the site of the former ThyssenKrupp AG steelworks, formerly Hoesch, a new recreational area has emerged on approximately 100 hectares of development land, following roughly 160 years of steelmaking history. The area is surrounded by attractive building plots. Five years of planning culminated in another five years …

We really enjoyed the art exhibition in Hoesch Park Do Hörde last year. The program has now changed and Dali, Gaudi and another installation are shown in the former blower hall. Admission 🎟 €16 for adults. The light and sound show lasts about 1 hour. Intoxicating images beautifully presented.
