The gate is in the southern park above the Deichsee, directly at the pedestrian bridge over Werstener Str.. From here you have a beautiful view over the Deichsee and - now in March 2022 - of the cherry blossoms on the opposite bank of the lake.

The Erwin Heerich Archway "Untitled" (1987) is a striking work of art in Düsseldorf's Südpark. This imposing, abstract concrete structure stands as an archway in the middle of the expansive green space, connecting art with landscape.

The archway is characterized by clear, geometric forms and a robust, minimalist aesthetic typical of Heerich's sculptural works. Despite its simple design, the structure appears monumental and invites visitors to experience it spatially—whether by walking through it or by walking around it. It creates a deliberate contrast to the park's natural surroundings and encourages reflection on space, form, and architecture.
