Grimberger Sichel Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
The asymmetrical steel structure, whose name Grimberger Sichel was found at a public competition, crosses the canal in a semicircular arc on the western edge of the harbor. Suspended only by a 48 meter high steel pylon on the north side of the canal, the curved bridge has a span of around 150 meters. The northern, 37-meter-long ramp is formed by concrete retaining walls, and the southern, 34-meter-long ramp is made as a dam. More than 600 cubic meters of concrete and 235 meters of large bored piles for the abutments as well as 400 tons of steel and 465 meters of rope for the suspended structure were used.
The bridge was awarded the 2010 European Steel Bridges Award by the European Steel Construction Convention. This honors outstanding steel bridge constructions in Europe.

Obelisk and Sundial on Hoheward Slag Heap
Highlight • Monument
The sundial, which is around 3,000 square meters in size, is located on the south plateau (140 meters). A stainless steel obelisk with a height of 8.65 meters and a weight of 1.5 tons acts as a pointer. Its shadow lines make it possible to read the date and time on the circular plane with a diameter of 62 meters. 🧭

Horizon Observatory on Hoheward
Highlight • Monument
But a trip here is not only worthwhile for this 6.5-kilometer cross-country route. The heap rises more than 100 meters above the surrounding area and the paths up are correspondingly steep. From above you have a fantastic view over the Ruhr area and the southern Münsterland. There is a large sundial and the Hoheward Observatory on the plateau of the heap, which, however, has not been open to the public since shortly after it opened due to construction defects. Enduro riders are out and about on the neighboring Hoppenbruch heap.

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Mindful Inside and Out
Mindfulness has enjoyed a truly successful career in recent years. And that's a good thing! This is certainly helped by the fact that it can be practiced easily and almost anywhere. A brief moment of peace is enough, and we can focus our attention on our perceptions. At the same time, it's not about constantly "immersing" ourselves in the here and now.
You read that right: As with any good and effective training, mindfulness also benefits us most with the right dose – time and intensity. And we can also train it specifically. Try it: Choose specific perceptions from the list below and then focus your attention on them. You'll notice that the boundary between outside and inside is fluid. Tip: If you close your eyes, it will usually be easier.
