"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 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.

Vernissage on 14.07.2026 at 10.00h

Classes 11 and 12 of the Hermann-Emanuel-Kolleg, Education & Social Affairs department, are exhibiting. Together with their teachers Lisa Berkemeier and Andrea Dedio, the pupils have been roaming the old town centre of Burgsteinfurt for several months and showing their very individual and young view of old walls. They transform their impressions into colour, form and language. In doing so, they are also drawing on the colour design of Johannes Itten, as well as Klee and Kandinsky. An exciting confrontation between different generations and an interesting dialogue resulting from this at the vernissage.
