    Bridge over the Emscher on the north bank. The Hörder Fackel used to stand nearby. This was a 98m high exhaust chimney where excess gas was burned off.

    The "Hörder Fackel" was a striking landmark of Dortmund-Hörde, which was erected in 1976 at the oxygen steelworks. The tall chimney was used to burn off excess gas and was a striking symbol of the steel industry, especially at night, thanks to the flame that was visible from afar. After the steelworks was shut down in 2001, there were efforts to preserve the torch as a monument, but it was ultimately blown up on January 24, 2004 to make room for the redesign of the area around today's Phoenix Lake.
