    Tips

    It is 18 meters high, weighs 20 tons, has only one arm, but a club on the "appen arm". The hair and beard are blue, royal blue to be precise, and the lips are red. This "proud" Hercules stands on shaft 2 of the former Nordstern colliery and looks from there over the Ruhr area and the Gelsenkircheners look at him with more or less benevolence.

      You can take an elevator to the viewing platform.

        From the viewing platform you have a good all-round view of the Nordsternpark
