Beautiful industrial monument on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area on the former Königsborn 3/4 mine, the so-called Ostpol. The West Pole is located on the Rossenray mine on the left bank of the Rhine in Kamp-Lintfort. These two headframes form landmarks and are signs of the regional industrial architecture and mark the entrance and exit of the Ruhr area as part of the Route of Industrial Culture.

The winding tower of the former Königsborn 3/4 mine, built in 1928, can be seen from afar.
His architect Alfred Fischer is one of the most important industrial building architects in the Ruhr area, along with the colliery builder Fritz Schupp. From 1911 until his impeachment by the National Socialists in 1933, he was the head of the Kunstgewerbeschule in Essen (later Folkwangschule).
The winding tower erected on the Königsborn 3/4 shaft is today an important document of the architectural and historical development in industrial construction in the twenties. It embodies the transition to functionalism and has become the model for most modern winding towers.

From the far the old winding tower of Sesekeradweg can already be seen. Converted to event catering, it can be booked for celebrations.
