Tips

From the viewing platform on the Friedrich-Ebert Bridge you have a great view of the Ruhr estuary with the sculpture "Rheinorange" and the Mercator Island with the sculpture "Echo Of Poseidon". 🤓

"The former shipping island is located opposite the historic Ruhr town and the shipping exchange at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. Ten years ago, the peninsula was still a transshipment point for coal, iron ore and scrap, and today it is a wasteland that was part of an international competition will be redesigned into a new urban cultural and leisure area. Its tip can be reached via the Vinckeweg (port fire brigade area) and via the stair tower at the Friedrich-Ebert-Bridge."

"On the Mercator Island, those interested in art can marvel at the sculpture "Echo des Poseidon" or simply relax. A great spot to experience the interplay between nature, industrial culture and the dynamic hustle and bustle of the port.
Where there was an industrial area just a few years ago, there is now a park that is open to the public. When the weather is nice, you can watch the busy shipping traffic from here and enjoy nature.
The industrial character cannot be denied to this day, so the surface structure shows a typical appearance. The resulting, special living spaces create the connection between historical industrial use and use as a recreational area.
In the south-eastern area there is an area for species protection, which was also separated from the green area by a planted earth wall and a pasture fence. The sculpture Echo of Poseidon, which stands vis-à-vis to the Rheinorange, forms an art space at the mouth of the Ruhr together with the Rheinorange, which contributes to the attractiveness of the green area. Rotating sun loungers make a day by the water perfect."
