Halde Oberscholven, Mining spoil tip in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
Halde Oberscholven rises 140 meters above the valley floor, reaching a height of 202 meters above sea level in the Ruhr region.
The spoil tip accumulated mining debris from Scholven, Bergmannsglück, and Emscher-Lippe collieries between 1966 and 1987, marking the industrial legacy of Gelsenkirchen.
An 8-meter summit cross installed in 1994 serves as a gathering point for the annual Mai-Andacht religious service by the St. Josef community.
Two wind turbines installed in 2010 generate 2.3 megawatts each, while an underground reservoir stores 36,000 cubic meters of drinking water.
The summit features a partially buried mining wheel and a 60-meter communications mast supporting television, digital radio, and mobile phone services.
