Spoil tip Beckstrasse, Mining spoil tip in Bottrop, Germany.
The Beckstrasse spoil tip reaches 110 meters above sea level and features a 60-meter-tall tetrahedron structure at its summit, visible from the surrounding area.
Created between 1963 and 1980 from the Prosper-Haniel coal mine operations, this artificial hill contains 11.8 million cubic meters of mining material.
The tetrahedron structure represents the transformation of industrial sites into modern landmarks, marking the evolution of the Ruhr region's identity.
Visitors can climb 387 steps to reach the tetrahedron observation platform, which provides views across the industrial landscapes of North Rhine-Westphalia.
From 2009 to 2014, this location pioneered environmental transport by operating a hydrogen-powered bus service to transport visitors to the summit.
