The fountain sculpture by the Raesfeld artist Hermann Kunkler, erected here, Rochfordstrasse/Merschstrasse, by the neighboring financial institution as a gift on the occasion of the city's 700th birthday in 1989, is a reminder of the so-called "Essen raid" in 1652 at this point, where remains of the wall were laid during the laying of the foundations of the old city gate were found.
The area around the Merschtor has been decorated with the so-called “Floating Gardens” since 1997, which were built with great commitment by the “Haltern aktiv” association.
