Paris has the Eiffel Tower – the Jülicher Land has the “Indemann.”
It is a 36-meter-high structure made of 280 tons of steel with 20,000 individual components. Visitors can reach the twelve different levels via a total of 216 steps, or they can take the elevator to ascend to 24 meters. The idea and planning were developed by the Dutch architectural firm Maurer United Architects. The Indemann was realized as a project during the Euregionale 2008 on the Goltsteinkuppe in Inden.
The observation tower was opened in 2009, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding area and the Inden open-pit mine.
The Indemann can be illuminated with 40,000 LED lights. An annual open-air festival called “Summer Lights” is held here, and business-minded individuals gather for the regularly scheduled exchange round known as “Blue Hour at Indemann.”
At the entrance to the Roman Park in Aldenhoven stands the Little Indemann – three more smaller brothers stand in Inden, Langerwehe, and the Zülpich Garden Show Park.
At the foot of the Indemann, visitors can try out football and mini-golf. A large playground and dining options complement the offerings.
