"Our home - our beer" - the Rolinck brewery still embodies this motto today, more than 200 years after it was founded. The flavoursome, fresh, off-dry beer stands for high and unmistakable quality as well as for Westphalian solidarity with the land and its people. To our beautiful Münsterland!

Rolinck has been part of the Krombacher family since 2007. Since then, further tasks such as speciality bottling have been taken over at the Steinfurt site. Find out more about our traditional brewery and taste a wide variety of drinks and beer specialities. Small snacks will be served.

Anna Krechting takes you on a journey through time with true stories and anecdotes, with tales of witch hunts and beating students, giving you a vivid picture of her time. On your way from the castle through the town to the Ackerbürgerhaus, you can also taste from Anna Krechting's basket!

In keeping with the current exhibition "Paradise of Irrelevance", Günter Rückert will read from his autobiographical book, which humorously describes his artistic development and the attempt to turn his hobby "art" into a profession. "Can you make a living from it?" is one of the questions that artists are asked time and again. The answer is "yes" if you are as skilful with pencil, brush and paint as Günter Rückert. Hans Wanning will enhance the evening musically on the jazz piano. Let yourself be surprised, according to the motto: "The must is what the will should be able to do in the end"

"Where have all the rascals gone?" This is the question Klaverjahn asks himself as he searches for the rascals of the Hohe Schule - one of the first reformed universities in Westphalia. And it is here at the Hohe Schule that he meets you and takes you on a search.... On this journey through the 17th century, Klaverjahn passes buildings from days long gone and has exciting and entertaining anecdotes to tell. The "Bengel" have to be found by closing time, but caution is advised, because these are troubled times and pauper hunters, bagmen and the sick make the search in Stemmert more difficult.

The year is 1801 and Petronalla Gempt, née Prümers, is the widow of the well-respected and highly esteemed court apothecary Conrad Gempt. Every day she goes on her errand through her home town of Burgsteinfurt. Today you accompany her and learn a lot about the diseases and remedies of her time. She also tells you about her home, the "Apotheke zum Elephanten", and how it got its name. Of course, she won't let you go without the special apothecary potion against all kinds of infectious diseases, malicious people and nosy neighbours!

The forest woman is often described in fairy tales as a good-natured, clever being. She lives with, in and from the forest. She helps people who are hungry or in need. Whoever goes into the forest (and meets her) comes out a different person.

You too can make this experience on this special nature tour with the forest woman Hulda in the Bagno Forest - get to know the forest giants and other inhabitants of the forest. Hulda explains how people used to look after themselves in the forest. She leads us to magical places and tells short, largely unknown fairy tales and legends from the region, about various creatures of the forest and their coexistence. At the end, there are small delicacies from trees and bushes.

Hint: Please wear clothes suitable for the weather, covering your body, sturdy shoes. Tick protection is recommended.

Vernissage on 07.06.2026 at 11.00h

Nature is the connecting element for the artist Jutta Klose and the artist Rainer Bauer. A dialogue between wooden objects, which Jutta Klose often finds in the forest, and Rainer Bauer's large-format depictions of nature, which often show reflections of plants and trees in bodies of water. Unreal and with a sensitive colour spectrum, the oil paintings amaze their viewers. Jutta Klose's objects bear witness to a transformation of naturally found materials, wood or stone, into works of art. A harmonious symbiosis of two people who have found the centre of their lives in art.
