The Hercules of Gelsenkirchen is a monumental statue created by Markus Lüpertz, his employees and an art foundry. It stands on a former winding tower of the former Nordstern colliery in the Nordsternpark in Gelsenkirchen, is a landmark that characterizes the townscape and is considered a symbol of structural change in the Ruhr area.

The Nordsternpark in Gelsenkirchen with Hercules on the colliery tower, a double-arched bridge and lots of mining heaps.

Art meets industrial culture. What a theater before the installation of Hercules. Since he's now up there, calm has returned. OK then...
