The Gichtgas-Brillenschieber commemorates the former Hoesch steelworks "Phoenix-Ost" in Dortmund-Hörde. This four-meter-tall steel sculpture, built in 1968, was used to seal blast furnace gas pipelines when necessary, such as during repairs. An inscription details its original function and significance.
