Steinbruch Schüren, Nature reserve and cultural heritage site in Dortmund, Germany
The Schüren Quarry spans 8.6 hectares, featuring exposed rock formations, a small pond, and diverse grass species across two distinct sections.
From medieval times until 1957, this quarry supplied stones for Dortmund's churches, including Reinoldi Church, and later housed the coal mines Gustav and Gute Hoffnung.
The transformation from an industrial quarry to a protected natural area represents the evolution of Dortmund's relationship with its industrial sites.
The quarry grounds contain marked paths for visitors to observe the geological features and natural habitats while maintaining a safe distance from rock faces.
The 315-million-year-old stone formations reveal layers of geological history, while a small pond serves as a breeding ground for various amphibian species.
