View of Marina Rünthe and Heil Power Plant

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Heil power plant, also known as the Bergkamen power plant, is located in the Heil district of Bergkamen on the Datteln-Hamm Canal. It is a hard coal power plant that is operated jointly by STEAG GmbH and RWE Power AG. Construction of the power plant began in the late 1970s and it was commissioned in 1981. The power plant has an output of 750 megawatts and produces around 3.7 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and district heating for the city of Bergkamen every year.

The Heil power plant is characterized by its tall chimney of almost 290 meters, which is visible from the Westphalian marina Marina Rünthe. Originally, the hard coal was transported directly from the neighboring Monopol mine to the power plant via a conveyor belt. Today, coal is delivered via the plant's own port on the Datteln-Hamm Canal.

In recent years, there have been plans to shut down the power plant. It was originally scheduled to be taken off the grid in 2022, but due to the energy crisis and to ensure the power supply, operations were temporarily extended. The power plant is planned to continue operating until at least spring 2024.

Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • River

Since 1914, the Datteln-Hamm Canal has connected the eastern Ruhr area with the cities of Hamm and Lünen to the West German canal network. From the branch from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Datteln, it runs south of the Lippe and ends after 47 km at the height of the Hamm-Uentrop power plant. The originally planned continuation to Lippstadt was no longer pursued after the Second World War. Source: WSV. en

Horstmarer Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Seepark is located on the site of the Lünen State Horticultural Show (“LaGaLü”), which took place here in 1996. It is about 60 hectares in size and partly covers mining areas of the former Prussia colliery and agricultural areas. The core of the park is the nine-hectare Horstmarer See artificially created for the garden show with its bathing beach to the north and east and a quiet and nature reserve to the west and south. In addition, there are wide meadows with perennial gardens as individual islands. The Preußenhalde rises to the south of the site. Together with the Horstmarer Loch, a deep sinkhole that is used for disc golf, it is practically the only relic that points to the original use of the area.
