Hamm plans to take part in the Europe -wide "Day of the Open Monument" this year, which will take place on Sunday, September 8th. This year the event is under the motto "True sign. Contemporary witnesses in history".

A total of 14 important buildings that represent over 1000 years of history will be visited in Hamm. The most outstanding included the main train station and the historic castle hill Mark, which is considered the cradle of the city. The event not only offers a look at well -known landmarks, but is also illuminated unknown facets and stories about the monuments. The tours are free of charge and start from 11 a.m. at all locations involved. In the afternoon there is a concert in the St. Victor Church in Herringen, which is a special cultural incentive.

Mining history in focus

A central part of the monument day is the contemporary history of mining in Hamm. A striking symbol of this era is the glass elephant in Maxipark, which once belonged to the Maximilian colliery. A special tour on the Radbod colliery from 2 p.m. is also offered here. The creative area picks up speed at 11 a.m., followed by various tours, lectures and a musical supporting program in the afternoon, which makes the day a festival of history and culture.

a day of discoveries

The day of the open monument in Hamm is not only an opportunity to explore the magnificent buildings of the city, but also an opportunity to rediscover the rich history and the cultural identity of the region. Visitors are invited to take a walk through the city, starting at the office of 1906 in Pelkum, and to discover other historical buildings on the way. The event promises to captivate both those interested in history and families and offers a valuable opportunity to actively deal with the story.
