Lippe Reading Lounge (Digital Bookshelf on the Lippe Dike)

Highlight • Monument

"In 2020, the Dorsten artist Brigitte Stüwe realized the idea of building a "book shelf" on the Lippe dike on the Römer-Lippe route in Dorsten with a "book shelf". Nature, art and literature form a symbiosis. Organizer is the Lippe Association, which is the sponsor of the art project and released it to the public together with Brigitte Stüwe in August 2020. The "Lippe Reading Lounge", which invites you to read, chill and stay above the Lippe Auen, is a shelf construction made of wood and a kind of library with a place to stay, so that cyclists, pedestrians and other interested people from near and far can stay and read here. The "bookcase" contains compartments in which "books" are mounted. These " However, books" are colored metal plates that resemble a book cover in terms of their imprint and shape. A QR code can be found on the "book covers" with which visitors to the library can call up texts on their smartphones . Over 120 texts, written by people from the region, report on life and work on their river, the Lippe, as well as on Dorsten and its people. All texts can be called up via the QR codes on book covers on the shelves or via the Lippe Reading Lounge online site. With its texts, the virtual library spans the centuries and the experiences of many generations with the river. It allows you to immerse yourself in a poetic, imaginative world as well as to deal properly with the river landscape, its history and the water technology on site."

Old Town Hall, Dorsten

Highlight • Historical Site

"The Old Town Hall on the market dates back to the Renaissance and was built as a city balance in the 15th century, after being rebuilt and rebuilt in 1797, it was the seat of the city council.
The plastered, two-storey eaves house under hipped roof was built in 1567 for the first time as a city balance. The building received its present appearance in 1797. The strictly classical design is characterized by great clarity, symmetry and ornamental restraint. The existing building was then rebuilt into a town hall and extended to the marketplace by an arcade.
From 1902 to 1925, the old building served as a municipal combing room and from 1935 it was used as a Heimatmuseum. As one of the few buildings in the city center, the former town hall was partially spared from the devastation of World War II. "Source: Metropole Ruhr

Stirnberg Fountain on the Market Square

Highlight • Monument

"... The bronze fountain was designed by the Aachen artist Bonifatius Stirnberg. In 1986 the work of art was presented to the public in Dorsten and installed on the market square. The four corners of the fountain symbolize four relevant scenes from Dorsten's history - from the purchase of the city rights from Archbishop Konrad from Hochstaden to the beginning of mining. The individual groups of figures are even movable and can be rotated. ..."

"... On the western side of the market square is a bronze fountain created by Bonifatius Stirnberg in 1986, which figuratively depicts four episodes from the city's history at the four corners of the middle, expansive water discharge basin: Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden made the city a city with the Count of Kleve and the Mayor, the defensive struggle of Dorsten's women in 1588 during the Truchsessian War, Dorsten's shipbuilding and mining, which shaped the town in the 20th century. ..."
