For Osnabrück standards, you are quite high up here and have a wide view towards the south.

Water tower with viewing platform with good views in almost all directions. Next to the door are the opening hours - Mon - Thu 8 AM - 4 PM, Fri - 8 AM - 7 PM, weekends and holidays 9 AM - 7 PM. The viewing platform looks large from below, but a lot of space has been reserved for the water tower's technology. A visit is worthwhile.

The Baroque town hall, built in 1752 with its bright yellow paint, is an architectural gem in Hilter. The Baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, who was working on the monastery in Bad Iburg at the same time, likely contributed to its construction.

The town hall is a listed building and, together with the nearby St. Mauritius Church and the surrounding half-timbered houses, contributes to the preservation of the historic townscape of Dissen.

In 2015/2016, the Oesede Monastery Local History Society rebuilt the historically significant Stone Tower at the roundabout at the entrance to Oesede Monastery. Its history dates back to the late Middle Ages. In 1441, Count Johann von Hoya (the "Wild Jan") robbed the Osnabrück citizens of their cattle in the Fledder during a feud. The citizens rushed after him, but broke off their pursuit at nightfall at the Stone Tower. That same year, Johann von Hoya was captured during the storming of Fürstenau Castle by the city of Osnabrück and imprisoned in the Johanniskasten (Steiniger Turm) in Osnabrück's Bucksturm (Bucksturm) for six years until 1447. During another feud between Osnabrück and the robber baron Friedrich von Buck, an unsuccessful meeting took place in 1450 in the Steiniger Turm between representatives of the city of Osnabrück and the Osnabrück cathedral dean Albert von Bevessen († 1458), whose epitaph has been preserved in the ambulatory of the Osnabrück cathedral.

We've cycled past it many times without paying attention. But it's really worth reading a few "sayings" here.
