This 13-ton steel anchor was manufactured in Japan in 1999 and intended for an oil rig in the North Sea. Casting defects in the steel rendered the anchor unsuitable for this purpose, and it ended up in Fröndenberg, where it is on display here. Source: https://nat.museum-digital.de/object/1271966

Originally intended for an oil rig in the North Sea, it was unusable and is now a monument… amazing in the area 😉

Well-located crossing over the Ruhr

The so-called "Kuhbrücke" helps to switch between the banks of the Ruhr.

The ruins of Rodenburg Castle in Menden (Sauerland) were built in the middle of the 13th century by the knight Goswin von Menden, a vassal of the Archbishop of Cologne. Built between 1246 and 1248, the castle served at a strategically important point. As early as 1276, Goswin had to cede the castle and the bailiwick of Menden to the Archbishop. After a brief change of control to the Margraviate of Brandenburg, the complex was destroyed in 1301 by the troops of the Count of Mark and not rebuilt. Over the centuries, the ruins were forgotten and overgrown by the forest. Only during test excavations in 1939 and later excavations in the 1950s under the direction of Robert Frese, a school principal from Menden, were parts of the remains rediscovered and uncovered. Today, the ruins, which are an important testimony to this short period of rule, can be reached via a 20-minute walk from the city center (Rodenberg/Kapellenberg). The visit is free of charge.

@Markus: Unfortunately the Schützenhalle no longer exists, but a new hall is being planned.
