Even from afar, the joke greets the visitors as an unmistakable "highlight". The imposing landmark towers on the Halde Rheinpreussen. Mount and mine lamp together are with proud 122.60 meters the largest Montankunstwerk in the world. A tribute to all mountain and metallurgists on the Rhine and Ruhr.

An absolute highlight for friends of industrial culture. The huge pit lamp as a work of art on the summit of the stockpile is very impressive, especially of course after dark, when it is visible from afar.

"The Beacon" depicts a miner's lamp and stands approximately 30 meters tall.

The sculpture is located on the Rheinpreußen spoil heap, which offers a magnificent view of the Lower Rhine region. It is even visible from the nearby A42 motorway. Reaching it by bicycle requires a certain level of fitness, as the path is quite steep.
