Beautifully landscaped lake with a small harbor and many cafes. Numerous water birds cavort at the lake and are currently having offspring.

Gentle waves lap the shore of the Phoenixsee, a small sailboat sails into the harbor at Hörder Burg. On the promenade, which is very busy in the beautiful excursion weather, most visitors have an ice cream in their hand or sit in front of the restaurants and cafés under large sunshades and the plane trees. People use the benches and watch the countless little stars that the sun conjures onto the water. Some sunbathe on the lawns and jetties, others read, while the little ones romp around on the playgrounds and bake simplified models of the surrounding skyscrapers out of sand. The approximately 24-hectare lake, 1.2 km long and about 320 m wide, has become a small oasis of relaxation, but also of sport.

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.
