“A hidden oasis?” you might wonder, looking at In der Höll. It’s hard to believe this tranquil pond was once a site of industrial activity. In der Höll, whose name translates to “in hell”, doesn’t sound like a pleasant place. Yet, here we are, at the edge of this unique spot in Düsseldorf. In der Höll started not as a place of eternal damnation, but as a clay and lime quarry. Imagine the scene: bustling workers, the clang of tools, and dust filling the air. It’s a far cry from the peaceful water and natural surroundings we see today. Over time, the quarry was abandoned. Nature slowly reclaimed the space, and rainwater filled the pit, transforming In der Höll into the pond we know now. It’s a testament to nature’s resilience. Even in a place once nicknamed “hell,” beauty can emerge. So, next time you hear the name In der Höll, don’t think fire and brimstone. Think of a hidden pond, a testament to nature’s power to transform even the most industrial of landscapes into havens of tranquility.
