A commemorative stele on Rotbach-Weg now explains what is happening to the dilapidated concrete foundations under the motorway bridge.

The Rotbach east of Hiesfeld was not always as idyllic as it is today: only a few years ago, the stream that flows from Bottrop via Dinslaken into the Rhine was straightforward and monotonous in this area. Since the water body redesign by the Lippeverband there is also a busy cycle path.

And there is the stela now. It tells a short story from the time of the Second World War and explains what the remains of concrete walls, overgrown with shrubs, stand in sight of in a meadow. From 1939 to 1945 here was a barracks camp, in it lived more than 100 workers from Western Europe as well as forced laborers and former prisoners. They built only on the highway, were then used in the Ruhr chemistry. Many did not survive the war and died in bombing raids.
