Tetrahedron, Bottrop-Batenbrock, Germany

(Click Photo to Enlarge)

51°31'37.00"N 6°57'39.23"E

High atop a 65 meter high coal mine spoil tip in Bottrop-Batenbrock Germany sits a steel construction called the "Tetrahedron" (or in German, "Tetraeder"). It is 60 meters high, and has three viewing platforms for those brave enough to climb the winding stairs to them. The flat gravelly area below the Tetrahedron allows for geoglyphs to be placed by artists, and then viewed from above. The mandala (seen above, left) was replaced briefly with "aliens" (above, lower right) in 2006.
