Monuments of the Wittekind
The impetus for the whole thing is said to have been a church visit on his part, where he is said to have attended the service in the clothes of a beggar. Now he hoped for a clear sign from above that would give him the certainty that the Christian faith was the true one.
At a certain point his horse stopped, scratched and a spring came to light. Wittekind interpreted this as a sign of being converted to Christianity. The bronze and stone memorial in Herford is intended to bear witness to this process (source: wittekind-bad.de/denkmaeler.html)

Daniel Pöppelmann House
Highlight • Historical Site
The museum complex consists of the historic "Villa Schönfeld" and the extension for special exhibitions, which the architect Dieter Oesterlen designed in the 1970s.
The upper floor of the Villa Schönfeld is currently being restored in accordance with the requirements of the monument. The museum team is preparing a new, more extensive permanent exhibition on the history of Herford. The entrance area of the museum will also be renovated. Therefore the museum will remain closed until further notice.
Our construction diary provides information about the construction work and preparations for the future permanent exhibition.
You can now visit the exhibition on the history of Herford in the 19th and 20th centuries virtually.
