Schurenbachhalde: An urban playground in the middle of the industrial landscape
The impressive “Slab for the Ruhr Area” by Richard Serra stands on the summit of the Schurenbachhalde – a symbol of change and creativity. Strange silence and yet a dynamic aura: Here history and the present meet and create a unique atmosphere.
While the climb 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 relic of industrial times; it is a playground for creative minds, adventurers and those seeking peace and quiet alike. There is no stage fright or compulsory rehearsals here: everyone can find their own rhythm in the vast expanse of the area. Rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the city of Essen, the visit becomes an experience that delights both the heart and the camera.
Whether you are taking a walk alone or with friends, this setting offers space for flights of fancy and innovative snapshots.
An ideal place for anyone who wants to think outside the box and experience the next generation of urban art form. Schurenbachhalde has the potential to become an integral part of new experiences, off the beaten track of the Ruhr area.
