The Tetrahedron in Bottrop is one of the most popular places of interest and lookout points in the Ruhr area. The accessible work of art at the peak of a slagheap is illuminated at night time and is visible for miles around. The visit will be a highlight on a city break in the Metropolis Ruhr.

 

Someone with a sense of the effectiveness of icons and symbolic locations placed a large sculpture in the form of an accessible steel pipe construction with viewing platforms and artistic light installations on a Bottrop mining slagheap and the "slagheap experience view of Emscher" was born - it is now Bottrop's landmark.

The Tetrahedron itself is 50 metres high and stands on four pillars which gives it a certain weightlessness from afar. If you take on the ascent to the Tetrahedron you will be rewarded with a wonderful view. The steel framework can also be climbed upon without getting giddy. The illumination of the Tetrahedron at night is particularly impressive.
