On the Hoheward dump, the Ruhr Area Regional Association (RVR) built a modern horizon observatory in 2008 at the suggestion of the Horizon Astronomy Initiative in the Ruhr Area e.V. and the Westphalian People's Observatory in 2008, which is a publicly accessible observation facility for observing the sky and in particular for observing the rising and setting locations of the sun and moon and dedicated to selected fixed stars.

The specially developed architecture, which expresses the symmetries of the sky and the cyclical recurrence of the stars and their orbits, serves to revive ancient techniques of determining time and setting up calendars.
