Germany, Halde Rheinpreussen in Moers-Meerbeck (Ruhrgebiet)

---

, Moers, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Halde Rheinpreussen in Moers-Meerbeck. The heap is a 74m above ambient level schuppenschedet mountain heap. It has a total height of 103 meters over Owner since 2001, the Regional Association Ruhr. The overburden of the heap comes from the Rheinpreussen colliery, which was the first left bank of the Rhine mine. So this heap was also one of the first well-founded heaps in the Ruhr area. In order to develop the heap as a landmark, the Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR) decided in 2005 to erect a 30 meter high tower in the form of a miner's lamp on the heap. The design for the sculpture -The Geleucht - comes from the artist Otto Piene. View of the sculpture The jaded on the heap.
