About

Hörde

Hörde's transformation is one of the Ruhr area's greatest regeneration stories. The PHOENIX See — a 24-hectare artificial lake built on the site of the former PHOENIX-Ost steelworks — has created a spectacular waterfront district with residential towers, restaurants, and commercial buildings lining its shores. The older Hörde center retains its small-town character with the medieval Hörder Burg castle and a traditional market square. Nearby, the PHOENIX West technology park (on the former PHOENIX-West site) hosts innovation companies in dramatically repurposed industrial architecture, including the iconic blast furnace landmark.
