Public tour of Falkenhof Museum
At the Falkenhof Museum, you can currently experience how meaningful documents from six centuries revive bygone eras. The current special exhibition “Salt. Stories of the white gold from Rheine” takes visitors back to the time when the saltworks in Rheine provided the inhabitants of the Münsterland region with the necessary salt. A guided tour on Sunday, Jan. 14, at 3 p.m. will focus on the people who profited from the salt trade and produced the salt with hard manual labor. These are the workers, the aristocratic entrepreneurs who modernized the business and the canons of Bentlage Abbey. A spa also developed at the salt mine in the 20th century, and a photographer and a researcher began documenting the history of the salt mine. During the tour you will get to know the stories of these people while following an important chapter in the history of the town Rheine. The participation fee is €5, the meeting point is at the museum ticket office. Information: 05971 – 939 711.
