Heessen's big festival: 50 years of Hamm and 1050 years of history!
There is a great festival on the program in Hamm-Heessen! The Heessener Heimatverein invites you to the matinée on Sunday, July 6th, to properly celebrate the anniversary of “50 years of the city of Hamm”. Under the motto “Dynamic Heessen: From tradition to modernity, from mining to a health location”, the event will be a real highlight for everyone interested. As wa.de reports, the matinée starts at 11 a.m. with an official welcome by the district mayor Erzina Brennecke.
But what exactly can visitors expect on this day? The centerpiece of the program is an impressive nine-meter-long timeline created by local community nurse Inge Block-Löher. This documents 1,050 years of Heessen's history, starting with the first documented mention in 975 as "Hesnon". In addition to the increasing number of inhabitants, the timeline also shows the industrial development and changes in the community, with both Heessen Castle and the Saxony mine coming into focus. A special highlight will be the last mined piece of coal that will be on display.
A festival for young and old
The matinée is not only interesting for history lovers, but also offers a colorful supporting program. Numerous stands from clubs, organizations and institutions are planned that reflect the diversity and cohesion in Heessen. There are many offers to discover, especially for younger visitors, while music and performances provide entertainment on a stage. In addition, a blue light mile with interesting attractions will be set up on the market square, which should attract young and old.
The Heessener Freunde e. V. plays a central role in promoting community life in Heessen. The association, which promotes social issues, environmental awareness and integration, also invites you to get involved. Members can actively participate in projects and events, such as rock and pop festivals or the traditional Advent market. More information about membership can be found on the association's website, as well as in an article by heessener-freunde.de.
The importance of hometown associations
Local history and civic associations have a long tradition in Germany. An analysis on hinzundkunzt.de shows how important they are for social cohesion and the preservation of history. This club spirit is also noticeable in Heessen, and the cooperation between the local associations plays a crucial role in the interests of the residents. The July 6th event provides a great opportunity to learn more about these clubs and their commitment to the community.
The upcoming anniversary celebration promises to be a celebration of tradition and innovation that keeps Heessen's history alive and at the same time looks to the future. Be there and experience a day full of history, conviviality and fun!
