North Shore of Phoenix Lake

Highlight • Lake

View of Lake Phoenix from the north shore. Very idyllic, but very crowded when the weather is nice.

The approximately 24-hectare lake, stretching 1.2 kilometers in length and about 320 meters in width, has become a small oasis for relaxation and sports.

It's hard to believe that at the turn of the millennium, this area wasn't a lake, not even an open space, but a fully operational steelworks of incredible size.

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund

Highlight • Lake

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is a man-made lake in the Hörde district, created on the former site of the Phoenix-Ost steelworks. After the steelworks was closed in 2001, the site was remediated and flooded in 2010 to create a new residential and recreational area. The lake covers approximately 24 hectares and is surrounded by a 3.2-kilometer circular path for pedestrians and cyclists. From the Kaiserberg dump to the east, there is a magnificent view of the recreational and new development area.

Covered Rest Area at the Marina

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to have a rest, the bench is covered so you don't get wet even when it rains. The view over the lake has a wonderfully calming effect.

View of Hörde Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Hörder Burg (Hörde castle) is located in the south-east of Dortmund, close to the river Emscher, now right at the new harbor plaza of the 2010 created Phoenix Lake. It was built in the 12th century, with the contemporary tower still containing the original tower building, and today houses a museum. The rest of the castle complex mostly dates from the 1890s, when the steel manufacturer who had bought the area in 1840 converted the building and new annexes into office space. In front of the castle recent excavations are visible that document remains of the original castle foundations and artifacts found during excavation.
