If you walk or drive towards the head, you have the feeling that the dragon's head is turning towards you. Very nice. :-)

The 165 m long dragon bridge connects the old Recklinghausen II colliery site in Hochlarmark with the Hoheward spoil tip. The bridge depicts a dragon skeleton, neck and head oriented so that the dragon faces visitors.

Since the beginning of 2008, the Drachenbrücke has connected the district park Hochlarmark (former site of the Recklinghausen II colliery) and the triangular settlement behind it with the Hoheward heap. It was developed by Ralf Wörzberger. For pedestrians and cyclists, the bridge offers a curved overpass over the Cranger Straße in the form of a dragon skeleton whose ribs serve as a holder for the railing. Dragon's neck and head are turned back, as if the dragon were looking down at its visitors. The opening of the 1.5-million-euro building was delayed several times. The reasons for this were, among other things, planning shortcomings and the increased construction costs due to the increased world market price for steel. Although the building suggests a rather light construction, the total mass amounts to 198 tons. The Dragon Bridge is 165 meters long without the dragon's head. [7]
