    The Colosseum is the name given to the remains of a retaining wall in Bochum at the entrance to the former Krupp site on Alleestrasse. Today it forms the southern boundary of the West Park.

    The 16 meter high retaining masonry made of around 2.8 million bricks was built in 1911 and secures the mass of earth behind it. On this area stood the Martin steelworks I.

    In 1983 the works were closed and all buildings were razed to the ground.
