Brückenkopf des Viadukts Schlackenbahn
Brückenkopf des Viadukts Schlackenbahn stands in Dortmund between the former Phoenix West blast furnace site and Phoenix See. Two surviving bridgeheads rise 24 metres high and measure 4.5 metres wide. Their Neo-Romanesque forms preserve a striking fragment of the former Hympendahlbrücke above the surrounding landscape.
The viaduct crossed the valley between the Schallacker and Hympendahl slag dumps. C.H. Jucho built it between 1891 and 1901. The Schlackenbahn carried slag from Phoenix West to the Hympendahl dump after Schallacker reached capacity. Its steel middle section collapsed during the 1950s. A small green space with a water feature now occupies the area around the former bridge. A pedestrian and cycling route connects Phoenix West with Phoenix See.
