    The dump Pattberg is a former mountain dump of the coal mine Pattberg in MoersRepelen. Initially, it bore the name of the nearest town: Halde Moers-Nepelen.

      The Pattberg spoil tip is a panorama of the industrial heritage route:
      The Pattberghalde is one of the younger heaps in the Ruhr area. After the neighboring mine of the same name had received approval in the early 1960s, tailings were piled up here from 1964 to 1985 over an area of around 35 hectares. The highest point rises 64 m above ground.


      In 1997, RAG handed over the tailings pile to the Ruhr Regional Association, which integrated it into the "Lower Rhine Landscape Park" in cooperation with the cities of Moers, Kamp-Lintfort, Neukirchen-Vluyn and Rheinberg. On the one hand, the planning of the park envisages ecological treatment, i.e. renaturation of watercourses, forest proliferation, creation of biotopes, orchards and hedges, on the other hand, a recreational area with environmentally friendly use through various leisure activities is to be created.

      The heap is particularly popular with kite and model pilots, even though the annual kite festival that used to take place here has now moved to the Rheinpreussen heap. Anyone who climbs the heap has a wonderful view of the Lower Rhine landscape, but the extent to which industry and transport have shaped the area here does not remain hidden.

        The dumping of the heap by the mine began in 1962 and lasted over 20 years. The heap covers an area of 48 hectares and has a plateau about 75 meters high. There is a widely visible summit cross.

        The Ruhrkohle AG had planned the mountain dump as a terraced table mountain. Even during the dumping of the heap, the concept of landscaping was implemented and a greening and renaturation was undertaken. Today the heap is part of the landscape park NiederRhein, the route of the industrial culture and center of the Niederrheinischen tree circle.

        On the heap until 2007 regularly held a kite festival. After a year's break, the organizers relocated the kite festival in 2009 to the Halde Rheinpreußen.

        A concept developed jointly by the city of Moers and the Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR) provides for the future of the Pattberg waste heap as a mysterious dragon mountain. In October 2010, however, plans were announced to build on the heap Pattberg wind turbines. In a statement, the city of Kamp-Lintfort rejected the construction of the wind turbine in November 2012. However, the licensing authority is the district of Wesel.

        Since the beginning of the 1980s, radio amateurs have been using the exposed position of the heap of land for fieldday competitions on shortwave and ultra-shortwave. With only five watts of transmission power on shortwave, worldwide wireless connections to Argentina, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and the Neumayer 3 research station in the Antarctic and to the international space station ISS are produced here. The dump Pattberg has the mining activity number DL118 in the project mining and amateur radio.
