Fountain sculpture
Highlight • Monument
The fountain sculpture by the Raesfeld artist Hermann Kunkler, erected here, Rochfordstrasse/Merschstrasse, by the neighboring financial institution as a gift on the occasion of the city's 700th birthday in 1989, is a reminder of the so-called "Essen raid" in 1652 at this point, where remains of the wall were laid during the laying of the foundations of the old city gate were found.
The area around the Merschtor has been decorated with the so-called “Floating Gardens” since 1997, which were built with great commitment by the “Haltern aktiv” association.

Siebenteufelsturm Haltern am See
Highlight • Monument
A remnant of the city wall from the 16th century and the "Siebenteufelsturm", which was built in 1502, are evidence of history.
The naming could not be found out exactly until today. Since 1996 the monument has been illuminated in an unusual and attractive way in the autumn / winter months as part of the "Lichtzeichen" campaign.
The tower is also an exemplary example on the subject of "Use of old buildings as animal quarters", which the urban ecological nature trail takes on at this point.
The pond with the "Holzweg" is reminiscent of the old city moat that once enclosed the entire city and was fed from the Lippe.
In addition, the house behind the pond documents the possibility of greening the facade. At the entrance to the "Kärntner Platz" car park, there is another station on the educational trail on the topic of "Habitat of street trees".
On Kärntner Platz, approx. 30 meters from the tower, was the city's Roman-Germanic Museum, which was destroyed by the effects of the war from 1907 to 1945. A commemorative plaque of the Association for Antiquity and Home Care Haltern e.V. on the wall of the current parking lot reminds of this. "Source: metropoleruhr.de
