Near the colliery wasteland of the Holland colliery, which once bounded the site to the south, a new housing estate is now being built. The terraced houses, some with distinctive barrel-shaped roofs, lie south of a curved, elongated water basin.

This small lake was completely frozen over in winter 2021. That looked very nice in the winter sun. It is located between Weststrasse and Josef-Haumann-Strasse and belongs to the former Holland colliery.
