The "Mouse Tower" in Hengsteysee is located in the urban area of Hagen. The tower is the remainder of a pedestrian suspension bridge from the Villa Niedernhof on the north bank of Herdeck to the former south bank of the Ruhr with the former knight's residence Haus Niedernhofen in Hengstey. Since the damming of the river to Hengsteysee, the building no longer stands on the shore but is surrounded on all sides by water.
