The Jörgenstein in Weitmarer Holz is a roughly six-ton syenite boulder. It commemorates Bochum's local author Georg Breuker, who vividly depicted the Ruhr area's working life through his character 'Jörgen the Miner.' The stone is located near the path between Blankensteiner Straße and the Malakow tower of the former Brockhauser Tiefbau colliery.
