Dorsten Large Lock

Highlight • Structure

There's actually always something going on here. And those who want to show their children or grandchildren how a lock works can do so excellently here on one of the busiest canals in Germany.

Hervester Schwall (Lippe River Rapids)

Highlight • River

The otherwise calmly flowing lip has clear waves there. You can see them from the bridge. You can only really experience the waves when you go down to the river bank. So get off the bike and continue on foot.

St. Paulus Church, Hervest

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hervest'er Church was consecrated to Saint Paul. He was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience" (see Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 9).
His attribute, with which he is usually depicted in paintings or as a statue, is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a “privilege” (rapid death and not associated with a long, agonizing agony like other types of execution) that the citizens of Rome were entitled to.
Peter (Peter) is also known together with Paul as the "Princes of the Apostles", their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

St. Agatha Church, Dorsten

Highlight • Religious Site

The Catholic parish church of St. Agatha is a listed church building in Dorsten, a town in the Recklinghausen district in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The building was erected in 1952 in place of the old, destroyed Gothic hall church.
The first church in Dorsten was founded in the 11th century by the Xanten monastery, which until 1721 also had the right to occupy the pastoral position. At first the church (ngemeinde) belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne, and only from 1821 to the Diocese of Münster.

St. John's Church, Dorsten

Highlight • Religious Site

The first name Johannes has been widespread since biblical times, so it should not surprise us to find a whole series of blessed and holy figures with this name over the two millennia of Christianity. On the threshold of the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist (also Johannes Baptist), to whom most Johannes churches are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name.
