Haltern cycle paths

A series of events to commemorate a largely suppressed chapter of post-war history: the fate of the so-called fate of the so-called Displaced Persons (DPs) in Westphalia-Lippe. Blind Spots focuses on the so-called displaced persons, who after their liberation from forced labour, concentration camp imprisonment and captivity after were housed in camps at the end of the Second World War. There they lived free, but nevertheless in bondage, because for various reasons they were unable to return were unable to return to their homeland immediately.

In Haltern am See, the series Blind Spots on 11 October 2025 at 3 pm in the LWL-Römermuseum with an exhibition in the public space in Haltern-West will be ceremoniously opened. A bilingual audio walk will be presented that tells the history of the former camp for displaced persons in Haltern - one of the largest in largest in Westphalia - can be experienced on site.

In addition, an artistic intervention in public space will be created, the starting point of which starting point is an archive image from the Haltern town archives. For this potato peelings were transferred into bronze: on the one hand, they mark the places and houses mentioned in the audio walk, but they also function as as independent objects of remembrance. Spread across the district, the like unexpected traces of the past and at the same time form an ephemeral memorial. an ephemeral monument.

Traditionally, the St Nicholas market in Haltern am See begins on the 1st weekend in Advent. Mayor Andreas Stegemann will open the St. Nicholas Market on 28 November 2025 at 6 pm on the market square.

The hut magic on the market square invites you to visit. Here, guests can enjoy the cosy atmosphere whatever the weather, browse the stalls and relax with a hot drink while listening to Christmas music. The Stadtwerke Haltern am See adventure skating rink invites you to take a few quick laps and if you want to do a bit of gift shopping, you're sure to find what you're looking for among the arts and crafts on offer.

Once again, a curtain of lights covering almost the entire square creates a contemplative atmosphere - and does so in an economical way thanks to energy-efficient LEDs.

On the Advent Saturdays, the lucky draw by "Haltern am See. Does good." will take place.

Traditionally, St. Nicholas crosses the lake on 6 December at 6 pm and makes his way to the town centre in a small procession.

There are trees in all sizes, small, medium and large trees. There is a suitable tree for every living room, hall and hall. It is also possible to pay cashless! No need to worry about transport. Fridolin Wessel helps to unload the trees. Thanks to the Honert, Schwanewilm, Uphues and Haverkamp companies, the efforts of the pensioners' band and the 6th company of the Sythen shooting club, it is possible to deliver the trees again this year. Many thanks to all the helpers. The physical well-being is also taken care of. There will be homemade SchlossGlühwein, beer, coffee, children's punch and non-alcoholic drinks. The Sythen winter sausage will be grilled on the barbecue. Thanks to generous donations of dough, waffles can be offered again this year. Music by Paul Weidekamp and the Hullern brass band (in dry weather) will create a Christmassy atmosphere; the Sythener Holzwürmer and Bärbel Matuszczyk will present and sell their work.
