Old Post, Drensteinfurt

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Post Office is one of the most important historical monuments in the town of Drensteinfurt in the Warendorf district (North Rhine-Westphalia). This half-timbered townhouse is located on Mühlenstraße and was built in 1647. It is remarkably large for its time (28.30 meters long and 12.85 meters wide) and initially served as a warehouse and granary. The building also included living quarters. From 1850 to 1917, it served as a post station, from which the building's name is derived. Stagecoaches and horses were housed there.

Between 1976 and 1980, it underwent extensive renovations and is now used for council meetings, weddings, and exhibitions. On June 28, 1982, it was added to the list of protected monuments of the town of Drensteinfurt. An old well, also part of the ensemble, has been a protected monument since January 20, 2005.

Schach(t)Matt Art Installation on the Förderturm

Highlight • Monument

The winding tower stands on a site where a mine was supposed to be built many years ago. Now the landmark is part of an art object.

The pink-painted crown that has adorned the winding tower since April 10, 2024 weighs 2.5 tons. The project is part of an art project between the Hammer Zeche Radbod and the Donar mining site.

Kuray Cetinbaya designed the crown and gave it the name Schach(t)Matt. "I was walking here and when I saw the shaft frame here, I thought it looked like the king on the chessboard, only without a crown. And that's when the idea was born to put the crown on the whole art object."

Forest Path Along the Creek

Highlight • Trail

Nice quiet bike path right next to a small trickle (which unfortunately it is sometimes). The path has some narrow spots, so caution is advised.

Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • River

The signs for Hamm Aktiv for cyclists, runners etc. are very well set up and show circular routes for e.g. 5 km or 10 km and are very easy to recognize due to their color.
The two bodies of water are very nice to enjoy because of their courses and wildlife.
