The Brockenscheidt slag heap is located next to the former Waltrop mine, which was closed in 1979. At 15 meters high, the slag heap is one of the smaller slag heaps in the Ruhr region. In 2000, the Spurwerk Tower was erected at the highest point of the slag heap. This work of art was deliberately left unfinished, as can easily be seen from the top of the pyramid-shaped sculpture. The 20-meter-high landmark features an observation platform approximately 12 meters high, accessible via a staircase.
