The Seilersee in Iserlohn, also known as the Callerbachtalsperre, is a process water dam with an area of ​​13 hectares and a storage space of 350,000 m³. It was built in 1913–1914 and is a popular local recreation area. A 1.6 km long hiking trail leads around the lake, and there are various leisure options such as an ice rink, a sports and brine pool, tennis courts and a mini golf course.

The former aristocratic residence Haus Rodenberg in Dortmund-Aplerbeck originally emerged from a medieval moated castle on the banks of the Emscher and was mentioned in a document as early as 1290. Of the former gardens, only the outer bailey island, the surrounding moats, the house pond and remnants of the wall surrounding the main garden remain. Today the park area is a public green space in the center of the Aplerbeck district.

The oldest and most detailed known depiction of House Rodenberg and its lands is a map from 1801 by Wesermann. Like many aristocratic residences in the Dortmund area, Haus Rodenberg was designed as a fortified complex and was thus completely surrounded by water. Still in keeping with the simple design language of the Renaissance, the parts of the garden were laid out as delimited, almost square areas outside the moats and surrounded by quarry stone walls. In the center of the eastern or main garden was a round pool and a pavilion at the edge. To the north was the tree farm with rows of fruit trees. The small square in the south, also almost square, with quarry stone walls and equipped with the same simple wayside cross, was surrounded by a moat and was therefore also called "water parterre".

If the pedestrians walk on their part of the way, it's very good to drive on the Phoenixsee :)

The Rodenberg House is a moated castle in the Aplerbeck district of Dortmund. The castle fell into disrepair in the 19th and 20th centuries. All that remained of the former moated castle was the outer bailey with the economic section. After the castle was destroyed in the Clevisch-Märkischen succession dispute in 1422, it was rebuilt in the years that followed. Between 1689 and 1698 the castle was rebuilt into a baroque moated castle. The property was sold to the city of Dortmund in 1985, which had the park and Rodenberg house thoroughly restored by 1996 and finally handed it over to the citizens of Dortmund. The castle is listed as a monument, the former castle as a monument in the monument list of the city of Dortmund. Today, Haus Rodenberg is home to the seminar rooms of the adult education center in Dortmund, the fairytale stage (a puppet theater for children and adults) and upscale gastronomy. The premises of Haus Rodenberg can be rented for so-called ambience weddings through the adult education center in Dortmund. The former mill pond and the park with "orchard" are well visited in summer.
