Halde Schöttelheide

Located in the Ruhr district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Halde Schöttelheide rises 111 meters above sea level, forming a prominent elevation in the industrial landscape.

The spoil tip emerged from extensive coal mining operations during the industrial development of the Ruhr region, particularly from materials extracted at Zeche Rheinpreußen.

The former industrial site now functions as an educational space where visitors learn about the mining heritage through information boards and guided explorations.

Multiple walking paths lead to the summit, offering access to panoramic views while designated parking areas and clear signage facilitate navigation throughout the site.

The transformation of this mining waste heap into a recreational space demonstrates the evolving relationship between industrial heritage and modern environmental management.
