<< From the old landfill to a local recreation area >>
"The old Huckarde landfill has been used as a waste disposal site for many years, existed as early as the beginning of the 20th century and originally covered the fields and meadows that were here. Large masses of rubble and debris from the houses in Dortmund destroyed in the Second World War were also deposited here. Industrial and household waste was also added. Material in the order of around 11 million m³ was thus accumulated on an area of 44 hectares. In 1992, after the landfill operation was stopped, the phase of securing and recultivation began after waiting for the last subsidence.From 1997 onwards, the body was sealed and a layer of soil was applied for future vegetation. Around 150,000 trees were planted. Gas wells capture landfill gas for further use and can be recognized on the surface by black caps. The Deusenberg, named after the district of Deusen, was opened to the public seven years later. later."
