"The Tippelsberg is an elevation and a local recreation area in the north of Bochum.
The mountain itself is a comparatively high elevation in the landscape for the Middle Ruhr region, which forms a landmark in the Bochum districts of Grumme, Riemke and Bergen.
In the 20th century, the Tippelsberg was used as a dumping ground for construction and soil rubble over a period of 14 years. Among other things, the excavated material from the Bochum subway line U35 was deposited here. This more than compensated for the height of the natural summit lost due to mountain subsidence.
The artificially raised peak today reaches a height of 150 meters above sea level (40 meters above ambient level), and the extent of the cone is 18.5 hectares. From the summit you can see far into the Ruhr area on a clear day." Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippelsberg

The Tippelsberg is the subject of various folk legends. One of them is: The giant Tippulus once completed a long journey. On the way he stopped to remove lumps of clay from his shoes, which formed the Tippelsberg. References to these legends were installed as landscape elements on the mountain, for example a huge footprint.
