🎨 The Stirnberg Fountain (often simply called the Market Fountain) is a fascinating work of art located right on Dorsten's market square, inviting visitors of all ages to explore. Created in 1986 by the Aachen sculptor Bonifatius Stirnberg, it is a classic example of his "hands-on art."

🏛️ The Old Town Hall in Dorsten is one of the city's most striking and historically significant buildings. It is located directly on the central market square (Markt 1) and, together with St. Agatha's Church, forms the historical heart of the old town.

The old town hall is used, among other things, as a registry office.
