The 15-meter-high rolled steel plate on the plateau of the spoil tip is reminiscent of bygone times.
Schurenbachhalde: an urban playground in the middle of the industrial landscape
The impressive "Slab for the Ruhr" by Richard Serra - a symbol of change and creativity - is enthroned at the top of the Schurenbachhalde. Strange silence and yet a dynamic aura: history and the present meet here and create a unique atmosphere.
While the ascent along the serpentines becomes a meditative experience, the benches along the way offer space for interesting conversations or simply a well-deserved break.
The slag heap is more than just a remnant of industrial times; it is a playground for creative minds, adventurers and those seeking peace and quiet in equal measure. There is no stage fright or compulsory rehearsals here: Everyone can find their own rhythm in the vastness of the space. Rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view over the city of Essen, a visit becomes an experience that delights both the heart and the camera.
Whether on a walk alone or with friends - this backdrop offers space for flights of thought and innovative snapshots.
An ideal place for anyone who wants to think outside the box and experience the next generation of urban art forms. The Schurenbachhalde has the potential to become an integral part of new experiences, off the beaten track of the Ruhr region.
