Hörde is borough in the south of the city of Dortmund. Originally Hörde was a separate town (until 1929) and was founded by the Counts of Mark in opposition to their principal enemy, the town of Dortmund. In 1388, the "Großen Dortmunder Fehde" (great feud of Dortmund) took place, where the city of Dortmund battled against the alliance of surrounding towns. The struggle ended in 1390, with defeat for Hörde and its allies of [[Herdecke]], [[Witten]], [[Bochum]], [[Castrop]], [[Lünen]], [[Unna]], and [[Schwerte]]. Today Hörde is a part of Dortmund with restored old buildings combined with modern architecture. The Hörder Burg (Hörde castle) was built in the 12th century and is located in the east of the town, close to the [[Emscher]] and Lake Phoenix.

Lake Phoenix was one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in [[Europe]]. On the area of the former blast furnace and steel plant site of [[ThyssenKrupp]] newly formed and developed a new urban resident and recreational area {{convert|3|km|mi|frac=2|abbr=off|sp=us}} from the city centre of Dortmund. The development of the Phoenix See area cost €;170 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eglv.de/en/emschergenossenschaft/emscher-conversion/the-new-emscher-valley/phoenix-lake/|title=Phoenix Lake|website=Eglv.de|access-date=17 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212014936/http://www.eglv.de/en/emschergenossenschaft/emscher-conversion/the-new-emscher-valley/phoenix-lake/|archive-date=12 February 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> The lake is 1.2&nbsp;km long directed to east–west and 320 meters wide in north–south direction. The water surface area of 24 acres is larger than the [[Hamburg]] [[Alster]]. Lake Phoenix is a shallow water lake with a depth of 3 to 4 meters and a capacity of around 600,000 cubic meters. Attractive high priced residential areas were thus created on the southern and northern sides of the Lake. On the western lakeside, the existing district centre of Hörde is enlarged by a city port and a mixed functional urban area.

Companies with agencies and offices on the lakefront include:

*[[Zalando]]
*[[HSBC Trinkaus]]
*[[German Handball Association]]
*[[Handball-Bundesliga|Handball-Bundesliga (HBL)]]
*{{lang|de|Sparkassenakademie Nordrhein-Westfalen}}, a training organization of the [[Sparkasse (Germany)|Sparkassen]]
*[[Mircosonic]]

The finished sole is primarily fed by groundwater and unpolluted rainwater from the new building sites.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dortmund.de/en/leisure_and_culture/phoenix_see_1/index.html|title=Phoenix-See – Leisure & Culture – dortmund.de|website=Dortmund.de}}</ref>
The River [[Emscher]] flows through an embanked riverbed without direct link to the Lake. Together with the renatured Emscher, the Lake forms a water landscape of 33 hectares, which, as a linking area, is an important element of the Emscher landscape park. The renaturation of the Emscher River is managed by the public [[water board]] [[Emschergenossenschaft]]. The financial frame is 4.5 billion Euro and the aim is to finish the main work by 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.umwelt.nrw.de/umweltschutz-umweltwirtschaft/umwelt-und-wasser/abwasser/emscherumbau/|title=webpage Environment Ministry|access-date=14 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223023515/https://www.umwelt.nrw.de/umweltschutz-umweltwirtschaft/umwelt-und-wasser/abwasser/emscherumbau/|archive-date=23 December 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
