Location: Ruhr Region, Münster District, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
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.

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