The Pattberg spoil heap is a former spoil heap of the Pattberg coal mine. Initially, it bore the name of the nearest village: Moers-Nepelen spoil heap.

The Pattberg spoil heap is a panorama feature of the Industrial Heritage Trail:

The Pattberg spoil heap is one of the younger spoil heaps in the Ruhr region. After the neighboring coal mine of the same name received approval in the early 1960s, waste material was piled up here between 1964 and 1985 on an area of approximately 35 hectares. The highest point rises 64 meters above ground.

In 1997, RAG transferred the spoil heap to the Ruhr Regional Association, which, in cooperation with the cities of Moers, Kamp-Lintfort, Neukirchen-Vluyn, and Rheinberg, integrated it into the "Lower Rhine Landscape Park." The park's design includes, on the one hand, ecological restoration, i.e., the renaturalization of watercourses, reforestation, and the creation of biotopes, orchards, and hedgerows. On the other hand, it aims to create a recreational area with environmentally friendly use through various leisure activities.

† ... The spoil heap is particularly popular with kite flyers and model aircraft enthusiasts, although the kite festival that used to be held here annually has since moved to the Rheinpreußen spoil heap. Those who climb the heap are rewarded with a wonderful view of the Lower Rhine landscape, but the extent to which industry and traffic have shaped the area is also clearly visible.

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.
