Coesfeld (pronounced [ 'koːsfɛlt ] with Dehnungs -e ), also spelled Koesfeld until the 20th century , is a small medium- sized town and district town in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in western Münsterland .
geography
location
The district town is located in the Münsterland, about 35 km west of Münster . With the Coesfelder Berg , part of the urban area is located in the Baumberge , where the Berkel rises near Billerbeck . It flows through Coesfeld, is then dammed at the Walkenbrückentor in order to be routed for the most part as a flood within the ramparts outside the ring around the city. To the south of Coesfeld is the Hohe Mark-Westmünsterland Nature Park .
geology
Coesfeld lies on the border between nutrient-poor sand (west) and nutrient-rich clay and clay soil (east). Before the invention of artificial fertilizers , this not only had a direct effect on the prosperity of the rural population, but also indirectly, through society- forming demarcation, on differences in the dialect versions ( Low German ) and clothing, especially women: black: up de sand, colorful: up de Kleij.
Upcoming in Coesfeld, located in the center of the Münsterland chalk basin , you can find marl and marl limestone from the Lower Upper Campan (“Coesfeld Layers”) and the Upper Lower Campan (“Osterwicker Layers”). These rocks came in the Cretaceous , about 72 million years for the deposition. In them there are heaped layers of fossils as remains of the former marine life. Mussels, snails and sea urchins make up the bulk of the finds, ammonites with a diameter of up to 80 cm are not uncommon in layers. However, the strata are nationally famous for their rich and interesting sponge fauna.
The fossil-rich layers can be found regularly in temporary outcrops such as construction pits and shafts.

The district of Lette in the south of Coesfeld was incorporated into Coesfeld on January 1, 1975 as part of the municipal reorganization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia with the Münster / Hamm Act . Lette includes the farmers' groups Letter Berg, Pascherhook, Stripperhook, Wulferhook, Beikel, Letter Bruch and Herteler.
history
City name
The Kô-isa field is to be applied , i.e. H. "Field by a cow brook".
Coesfeld village
The first written mention of Coesfeld can be found in Altfried's biography of St. Ludgerus , the patron and bishop of the diocese of Münster . After that, Liudger preached on the way from his abbey in Essen / Werden to Münster on the evening before his death, March 26th, 809, in St. Lamberti Church .
In 1032, the noble woman Reimodis (Richmodis) founded, along with six others, the now defunct parish of Varlar , to which, according to the document, in addition to farmers from neighboring parishes, the Coesfeld farmers Hanum (Harle), Mottenhem , Goplo (Gaupel), Surwick , Honbruggen , Hildiwick and Nordinchuson with 54 houses belonged to the parish.
Heinrich (von Coesfeld), as the second provost of the Varlar monastery, which was founded by his relatives Gottfried and Otto von Cappenberg with the help of Norbert von Xanten as a Premonstratensian monastery , according to the Augustine rule , had the village of Coesfeld north of the Berkel shortly before the Varlar monastery inherited from becoming a town. The village of Coesfeld had grown considerably through the settlement of free people, who were given a house in Varlar through the annual word money .
By building the Jacobi Church south of the Berkel, the Bishop of Munster was able to assert his own rights in demarcation from Varlar, although both parishes in the village were administered by Varlar. In his function as archdeacon, the provost of Varlar held the ecclesiastical broadcasting court , secular guardians over the Wigbold Coesfeld - commissioned by Varlar - were the nobles of Horstmar .
Peasant communities
Gaupel is the Gaplon peasantry, documented in written sources since the 11th century, in the east of the city of Coesfeld near and on the banks of the Berkel with the medieval settlement centers Koningsell, Hembruggion, Sudwick, Bordenstock, Gaplon, Rudwick, Mottonhem and Nyhem.
Harle was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century. The peasantry included the actual Harle am Honigbach, Kalksbeck as well as a development settlement Holthusen.
Stevede was mentioned very early in the document tradition. Stenuuidi or Stenuuida is the old spelling, which, according to Franz Darpe, means "a willow planted with stones". On October 9, 799, the Werden abbot Liudger , the first bishop of Münster, received part of an inheritance (court) in the forest of Steinwida from the nobles Markhard and Rothard. It was undoubtedly the present-day Wolfert court, which was built during the time of Charlemagne . The farm was not administered directly from Werden, but belonged to the Lüdinghausen house, a fief that was enfeoffed to the cathedral chapter in Münster by the Werden abbot. It was not until the secularization of 1803 - at that time 90 farms and cottages belonged to the Lüdinghausen family - that the connection between Hof Wolfert and Werden monastery via Lüdinghausen ended for centuries. The later Prince of Salm-Horstmar became the landlord . The "Huninghove" - today Schulze Hüynck - was first mentioned in the Werden register of records in 930, then in a directory of the income of the episcopal office Billerbeck around 1252. In 1311 the farm was sold by the nobleman Johann von Ahaus to the Marienborn monastery.
The other Steveder Höfe are also very old. Schulze Hillert was named in a document as early as 1151. In that year, the Münster bishop Werner gave the Asbeck Abbey a pension from the “Curia stenwide”. Since this pension weighed on the Schulze Hillert farm until it was replaced in 1848, it can be assumed that this is the original farm "stenwide", which also gave the farmers their name. On February 3, 1326, Ludolf, Edler zu Steinfurt, exchanged the Bovinkhove (Schulze Böving) with Johann dictus Vreseler for the Nienhaus house in Billerbeck. On the same day Vreseler transferred the court to the Coesfeld citizen Johann de Dosburg. The owner became the Marienborn monastery in Coesfeld. After the secularization, the future prince of Salm-Horstmar became the new landlord.
City foundation
Bishop Hermann II von Katzenelnbogen von Munster transferred the town charter to Coesfeld in 1197, a few years after the neighboring town of Munster became town, whereby the new town was released from the controversial dependency of the Varlars monastery near Coesfeld . The document received bears the date of March 12, 1197, the document found imperial confirmation in the following August. The new status was linked to considerably expanded rights for citizens, but these are not explicitly mentioned. This should have included market sovereignty, coinage sovereignty, tax sovereignty, its own jurisdiction and the free choice of mayors and lay judges as well as the right to fortification. In the first half of the 14th century Coesfeld protected his possessions outside the city with a Landwehr , which was later called Stadthagen . The Ursula market and the weekly market on Tuesday and Friday have been preserved from the former four main annual markets . Coesfeld took part in the medieval urban and rural peace in Westphalia. In 1244 the Marienborn Cistercian convent was relocated to Coesfeld. The late medieval piety movement of the Devotio moderna found its way into the city with the Marienbrink sister house in 1424/27.
Baptist in Coesfeld
In 1534 some of the messengers sent out from Münster by the theocratic Anabaptists in Coesfeld, which was mostly Protestant at the time, and other cities in the Münsterland, managed to gain considerable influence for a short time . The Anabaptists , whose leaders Jan van Leiden and Jan Matthys came from the Netherlands and whose ideological leader Bernd Rothmann came from Stadtlohn , were then ousted by force of the army by Bishop Franz von Waldeck, who was besieging the city of Münster .
City judge Kort Kamphues
Kort Kamphues was city judge in Coesfeld from 1553 . With the move to the Brink, which is located outside, he violated his residence obligation and got into a dispute with the city over this. In 1572 Kamphues recruited mercenaries for the Spanish crown in the war against the Netherlands ; He gathered the troops ready to march on June 2, 1572 inside the city fortifications. The authorities had the gates shut because of this provocation, whereupon Kamphues and his men escaped over the walls and the moat. As a result, Kamphues was denied civil rights and he was no longer allowed to enter the city. After a failed arson attack on Coesfeld in 1578, for which his son Wilhelm was probably primarily responsible, the clan of the former judge was persecuted. Kort was captured near Bocholt and executed in Bevergern on December 9, 1578 for breaching the peace . While Wilhelm was ultimately set free, several other people involved paid with their lives.
The so-called Kamphues dagger , the whereabouts of which had remained unclear for almost 130 years, was found again in 2007 in the collection of Benjamin de Rothschild in Pregny Castle on Lake Geneva . The city is now in possession of a replica of this art-historically significant dagger from the early 14th century.
Thirty Years' War
Coesfeld was occupied several times for many years by foreign troops (League troops, 18-year billeting by Hessen-Cassel ) during the Thirty Years' War . In the Münsterland - in contrast to the neighboring Netherlands - it took generations to overcome the economic consequences of the Central European war between the Catholic and Protestant parties after the Peace of Westphalia - especially under difficult external conditions . The pre-war population was not reached again until the 19th century.
In connection with the recatholization and counter-reformation , numerous schools were founded in the Münsterland, under the leadership of Christoph Bernhard von Galen , who expanded the so-called Ludgerusburg outside the Coesfeld city walls in front of the cattle gates to become his bishopric in competition with the city of Münster, which was striving to become a free imperial city. The Ludgerusburg fell apart after the death of the bishop, who had been elected bishop with the support of the Jesuits ; the remains of the ruins are visible today on both sides of Osterwicker Strasse. Other buildings like the Great Way of the Cross go back to Galen's initiative. Von Galen, as a clever man not averse to reforms, resorted to the bachelor archers for his defensive bulwark. This enabled him to minimize the high costs caused by his mercenary army. The bachelor company still exists today in the Citizen and Bachelors Schützenverein Coesfeld e. V.
Galens' predecessor, Ferdinand von Bayern , had a Jesuit Latin school founded in Coesfeld in 1627, the Nepomucenum grammar school , which still exists today . Galen and the returning Jesuits actively supported the establishment of the school , which was interrupted by the war.
Van Galen also ended a phase in which Coesfeld had offered asylum to so-called dodtslaughters for more than eighty years . In the log of dodtslaughters , which is kept in the city archives, 183 cases are recorded in which people from the surrounding area were given shelter, although they were accused of murder or manslaughter. The donors could even acquire citizenship if they paid "half a citizen's money", swore an oath on the city and had a leather bucket ready for extinguishing purposes. They were also only allowed to have their grain ground in the town mill. They were allowed to practice a trade, but could not be accepted into guilds or guilds.
Economic decline
With the end of the occupation of Coesfeld in the Seven Years' War under Prince Soubise , who set up his winter quarters in Coesfeld in 1761, Coesfeld experienced a low point in economic development, many citizens had left the city, most of the houses were empty, the city fortifications were destroyed.
Napoleonic period
In 1802 the city of Münster and large parts of the monastery of Münster were occupied by Prussian troops in the course of the coalition wars. The Principality of Münster was dissolved. The Horstmar office came under the imperial rule of the Protestant Rhine Count Salm-Grumbach , who now called himself Count zu Salm-Horstmar and from then on moved into residence in Varlar Castle between Coesfeld and Horstmar , with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss as compensation for areas left of the Rhine ceded to France . The house of the Rheingrafen came into the possession of all ecclesiastical property of the rulership, which is still controversial to the present day. On the basis of the Rhine Confederation Act , the County of Salm-Horstmar became part of the Grand Duchy of Berg in the Rhine Confederation , a confederation of sovereign German states that renounced the Holy Roman Empire . In 1810 France annexed the area in order to better enforce the continental barrier. In 1813 Coesfeld came under the Prussian Generalgouvernement between Weser and Rhine , which took over the provisional administration of the Münsterland after the French withdrew.
Prussia
By decision at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 Coesfeld became part of Prussia and its province of Westphalia . The Graf zur Salm-Horstmar was raised to the hereditary prince's status as a Prussian landlord in 1816 . According to Otto Neumüller in 1928, the advantages of a large state meant that the depressed school system in particular enjoyed an upswing. Coesfeld became a district town, town and parish were administratively separated. Reformed Lutheran and only later United Prussia had already experienced the integration of large territories with deviating (Catholic) religion through Catholic Silesia.
Economic boom
During the period of early industrialization, Coesfeld experienced numerous new foundations: Textile, paper and a leather factory paved the way for mechanical engineering companies and an iron foundry. After the railway was built, Coesfeld became the crossing point for two lines. Up until the First World War, industrial activities continued to expand, particularly along the arteries.
20th century
During the Second World War , the old town center of Coesfeld was largely destroyed. The first major air raid was flown on October 10, 1943 by a misguided bomber group of the US Army Air Forces , whose actual target was Münster . The city suffered the greatest destruction in the final phase of the war from March 21 to 24, 1945. On March 21, 1945 alone, around 10,000 high-explosive and 49,000 incendiary bombs were dropped in Anglo-American attacks on Coesfeld, turning the city center into a landscape of ruins. On Good Friday, March 30, 1945, Coesfeld was taken without major resistance by the advancing Anglo-American troops under Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery , after these units had crossed the Rhine between Emmerich and Wesel only a few days earlier on March 23, 1945 as part of Operation Plunder had.
During the - partly car-friendly - reconstruction after the war, in the course of which u. a. a street was led through the Liebfrauenburg palace complex, large areas were integrated into the cityscape of the middle center under urban sprawl and the city experienced an economic boom over decades. On July 1, 1969, Coesfeld was merged with the previously independent and outlying community of Kirchspiel Coesfeld , which - as defined by the Prussian revised town code of 1831 - had been separated from the town since 1837, to form the town of Coesfeld , which increased the population from 22,039 to 26,528 . With the municipal reorganization of the districts, which came into force on January 1, 1975, Coesfeld retained the status of the district seat. The former municipality of Lette and small areas of Billerbeck and Darup were incorporated. The city of Coesfeld and the surrounding area survived the textile crisis in Westphalia in the 1970s without any problems due to the settlement of new small and medium-sized companies. In 1997 Coesfeld celebrated the 800th anniversary of the city.

Statutes
Up until the last half of the thirteenth century there was no city council in the current sense, the supreme power in the city lay with the judge and the lay judges, who ruled alone shortly after the city was founded and later together with the councilors they presided over. In a document from 1316 about a house office, the judge Johann Vreseler and his lay judges Heinrich Blome , Jordanus von Gracht as the two top lay judges ( magistri scabinorum ), as well as the normal judges who chose them ( scabinis ibi commorantibus ) Lubbert Holthusen , Bernhard Schwarze , Heinrich Kückestieg , Theodor Stenbickering , Friedrich Kosinbur , Macharius von der Kemenade , Rotger Schutemanich and Heinrich Voedeker . At the end of the document is written: To confirm the testimony of the above, we lay judges hung the city seal on this document . In other transactions, the entire citizenry ( totius universitatis oppidanorum ) voted . At the beginning of the fourteenth century the institution of a city council with the councilors ( consules ) arose , who, in addition to the judges - when they were first mentioned in 1287, were subordinate to them - were increasingly less responsible for property matters and - according to today's terminology - social matters.
Coat of arms and seal
Blazon : "In gold, a red cow head with a gold halter, gold headband and silver-black eyes."
The oldest Coesfeld city seal, the original main seal, is a Lambertus seal. It can be proven since 1246. The diameter is 8 cm. Flanked under a gable by two towers, St. Lambertus in the bishop's robe (formerly the double tower westwork of the Lamberti Church).
The inscription reads: + SANCTVS. LAMBERTVS. DE. CVESVELDE +
The stamp of this seal is in the city archives.
In addition to this main seal, the city of Coesfeld used a smaller, so-called secretion seal . Originally it was pressed onto the back of the main seal. It shows the cow's head from the front. This cow's head secretion seal has been proven since 1292. The town's cow's head seal, which was used up until the 18th century, developed from it: + SECRETVM. BVRGENSIVM. DE. COSVELDE. +
The talking coat of arms of the city was developed from this secret seal . From 1497 to the 18th century, examples of the Coesfeld cow head coat of arms can be traced.
flag
The flag of the city of Coesfeld shows the colors red-gold (yellow). The coat of arms is shown in the upper half of the flag.
Town twinning
There has been a partnership between Coesfeld and De Bilt in the Netherlands since 1977 . There has been a town twinning between the district of Lette and Plerguer ( France ) since 1968.
Attractions
.jpg)
Coesfeld has a number of sights and cultural monuments as well as modern art in public spaces. In addition, the Kunstverein Münsterland placed a total of thirteen ox figures at historically interesting locations in the city based on the city's coat of arms. These were cast on site by the Klostermann company and designed together with school groups and members of the Haus Hall facility for the disabled . A city tour, known casually as the ox tour, follows the ox through the city.
Buildings
Sacred buildings
Like large areas of the Münsterland, Coesfeld is predominantly Roman Catholic; at the 1987 census, about 90 percent of the population were Catholics. The Lambertikirche , which dominates the Coesfeld market square, was originally a Romanesque church, which was later expanded into a Gothic hall church . It is the parish church of the parish of St. Lamberti, whose origins go back to Liudger , the first bishop of Münster . Originally, the church had two towers to the right and left of the portal, of which the north tower in 1635 and the south tower in 1681 did not survive storms and collapsed. Today's baroque tower , 68 meters high , was built between 1686 and 1703 and goes back to the brothers Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius and Peter Pictorius the Younger .
The Lambertikirche is the destination of pilgrims who venerate the Coesfeld Cross , the largest forked cross in Germany. The Great Cross costume no longer takes place on Pentecost Tuesday, but on the non-working Sunday after the exaltation of the cross (September 14th). The Whit Tuesday tradition was introduced in 1652 by Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen , so that pilgrims who came from far away did not have to set out on Sunday, which is not in keeping with the celebration of the high feast day. The traditional Way of the Cross extends over twelve kilometers. The little cross costume , which has been going around the town center on Whit Monday since 1652, commemorates the expulsion of the Hessians after the Thirty Years' War that year. It is also called Hessen Utjacht , because Hessian soldiers " to please the officers " with the cross that had disappeared from the church had made their mockery. The cross costume has been attested since 1312. Coesfeld is one of the oldest places of pilgrimage on the cross in the diocese of Münster . The veneration of the cross has endured through the centuries.
The Jakobi Church , which largely dates from the time the city was granted city rights in 1197 , expanded in the 15th century and renovated in the early 1940s, was completely destroyed by explosive bombs on March 21, 1945 during the Second World War . Kaplan Father Heinrich Wünsche SJ found his death under the ruins of the tower . Only the tower portal was reconstructed true to the original after the war, and the church was rebuilt in a modern way in the 1950s. In the Middle Ages, it was an important gathering point for pilgrims on the Way of St. James .
The Jesuit Church , the work of the master builder Anton Hülse , with its precious high, carved baroque altar burned down completely on March 21, 1945 and was rebuilt.
The former synagogue at Weberstrasse 7 was built between 1807 and 1810 in the baroque style. Structurally attached to it was a Jewish school, on the foundations of which a community building with a castellan's apartment now stands. The synagogue is a simple rectangular building, the interior walls of which were painted with stylized curtains and Hebrew Bible texts. The gallery , bima and lectern had a neo-Gothic shape. During the Reichspogromnacht from November 9th to 10th, 1938, a neighbor prevented the synagogue from burning down. However, the interior was totally destroyed by the Nazis and their sympathizers. The demolished building was bought by the aforementioned neighbor on December 17, 1938. In 1962 the Evangelical Free Church Community ( Baptist ) Coesfeld bought the Jewish church and restored it under the guidance of the Coesfeld architect Kahrmann. The dilapidated school building was demolished and replaced by a community center. The Zwillbrock restorer Jetter restored the Torah shrine . The partially existing women's gallery was also restored. The synagogue, which was renovated with grants from the North Rhine-Westphalian State Office for Monument Protection, has been used since 1963 as the religious service center of the Free Church .
Residential buildings
The stock of older town houses was severely decimated by the severe destruction during the Second World War. Many of the buildings that had survived the hail of bombs were demolished in the post-war period and - in some cases until the 1980s - as part of urban redevelopment, including some very important monuments. These included Süringstrasse 40 , Rosenstrasse 1 (around 1600) and Walkenbrückenstrasse 29 . In 1990 the Schenckinghof in the Ritterstrasse, which was badly damaged in 1945 and later rebuilt in a simplified manner, with its medieval stone work was removed.
Almost nothing has been preserved from the former marketplace development. In 1988 market no. 4 , an older gabled house , had to give way to a commercial building. In the market two it was originally a two-story neoclassical brick -Traufenhaus high hipped roof . In 1955 the facade was completely changed and the ground floor was expanded into shops. Behind the building there is an older stone work from the previous building . The brick- gable house with a crooked hip roof ( Markt 3 ), which is located next door, is dated to 1744 due to the wall anchors ; in essence, however, it should be much older. In 1816 the interior was rebuilt by the Rheine architect August Reinking . In the rear area there is a stone work from the 17th century, which was only partially rebuilt after severe war damage. It is likely to be the laboratory of the former market pharmacy.
Only the area around Mühlenstrasse and Walkenbrückenstrasse remained largely unaffected by the war damage. In the 1980s, extensive renovation measures were carried out here and a monument area was designated. It was stipulated that the new buildings had to adapt to the listed old buildings. The current redevelopment shows, however, that the ridge heights of the historical buildings was by no means oriented. Mühlenstrasse 3 has largely lost its monument value. The two-storey plastered gable house, which is marked on the wall anchors in 1786, is essentially a half-timbered building from the 17th century. The boarded gable at the back originally protruded on headbands . On the right there was a gate entrance, which was crowned by a figure niche with a representation of Mary. In 1983 the building was completely renewed and gutted as part of a conversion to an apartment building. It was given a facade cladding with thermal skin and plaster, which led to the destruction of the last structural details. Agreements made with the preservation authorities regarding the plastering and the windows were not kept and, moreover, the side gate was broken off. The latter has since been replaced by a new one in which the figure of the Virgin has been integrated. The plastered brick- gable house at Mühlenstrasse 15 (inn “In de witte Schwan”) , which was built around 1750, has rococo decor . The house at Mühlenstraße 23 (Mühlenschänke), which is also used as an inn , is a simple brick building with a crooked hip roof. It is designated 1803. The adjacent hallway at Mühlenstraße 25 , a half-timbered building from the 16th century, was expanded around 1717 and given a brick facade. A stucco ceiling from 1735 has been preserved inside . In the neighboring Grosse Viehstraße 24 there was a two-storey hall house built around 1600 until 1984, which was converted into a hallway in the 19th century. It was largely destroyed by fire and then removed. The preserved facade could be integrated into a new building. The oldest surviving residential building in the city is believed to be at Walkenbrückenstrasse 4 . On the north wall of the eaves house, which is now used as a chaplain , is the south gable of a late medieval house, on which the remains of a chimney can be seen. It is likely to be one of several vicariate buildings that once lined the street. At Schützenring 47 there is also a two-story solid building with a mansard roof , which was probably built in the 18th century.
Older buildings were also preserved on Süringstrasse. Behind Süringstrasse 9 , a gabled house designated in 1789, the remains of an older stone work with vaulted cellar could be found. The building was included in a new building complex together with the neighboring house (No. 7) . Süringstraße 41 was erected in 1852 as an eaves house on the site of a former aristocratic court in front of an older structure (still from the 16th century?). The classicistic brick building is characterized by corner pilasters and a wrought iron balcony.

Other buildings
- As part of the no longer existing city wall with ring and ramparts, the medieval Walkenbrückentor now houses the city museum. It was rebuilt after World War II after being badly damaged by bombs.
- In addition to the Walkenbrückentor, the powder tower on the Berkel flood is the only remaining relic of the former city wall. It dates from the 14th century and is now the home of the Heimatverein.
- The stone market cross erected in 1424 was destroyed in the Second World War and then replaced by a replica.
- The Gruthaus on the market served as the town hall until it was destroyed for logistical reasons shortly after the Allied occupation in 1945. A new building has stood there since 1984, with only the arcade reminiscent of the predecessor. The new town hall was built in 1955/56 on the east side of the market square. The simple brick building is still in the tradition of homeland security architecture .
- The brick building of the Bischofsmühle , marked in 1598 and provided with powerful buttresses, dates back to the 12th century. The hipped roof of the watermill on Honey Brook cantilevers on all sides over suspension lugs before. In the summer of 2004, the building was renovated on the occasion of the Mill Day and turned into a museum.
- Ludgerusburg : Under Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen , construction of a large citadel began in 1654 . Inside the outwardly fortified complex, a magnificent castle was supposed to surpass all other buildings in the bishopric of Münster in terms of gloss. However, the facility was never completed. After van Galen's death, the work was initially stopped. In 1688 the fortress was razed so that only a few relics have survived today. In addition to the ruins of the gatehouse, the foundation stone of which was laid on July 17, 1656 and which was planned by Peter Pictorius the Elder , a barrel vault and remains of a ravelin are still preserved today. The gatehouse ruins with niches and loopholes now form the entrance to the city park from Osterwicker Straße.

theatre
The Coesfeld open-air theater was founded in 1951 by the Flamschen farmers . This natural stage is run by the association of the same name, Freilichtbühne Coesfeld e. V. operated. In addition to amateur theater and operettas, mainly musicals are performed. The open-air theater is a member of the Association of German Open-Air Theaters .
The textile entrepreneur Kurt Ernsting ( Ernsting's family ) built the Coesfeld Concert Theater near the new Coesfeld indoor and outdoor swimming pool. It has 623 seats and was opened in April 2007. The foundation he founded with his wife financed 16 million euros and operates the theater, which offers special technical light and sound effects. Existing flaps in the side walls of the hall as well as rotating wings under the roof can be adjusted precisely to suit the respective form of performance, so that either an absorbing, dampening or reflecting sound effect is generated. This is necessary in order to be able to bring many different genres to the stage in the concert theater. Concerts, plays, entertainment, variety shows and dance performances take place here. The goals of the concert theater are on the one hand to support young artists and on the other hand to be able to offer the people of Westphalia varied cultural events.
Neighborhoods
A specialty for Coesfeld and other cities in the Munsterland are the so-called neighborhoods, organized like associations of the residents of individual streets or street sections. They have existed since the Middle Ages and have the purpose of regulating various social tasks directly on site.
In earlier times, these tasks included, among other things, sickness, emergency and death provision, but also defensive functions and regulatory tasks. These purely privately organized neighborhoods always existed parallel to the official administrative divisions of the city area (the so-called "gorges" that actually existed until 1803, through which civic responsibilities were organized by the city). In the present day the neighborhoods are devoted to maintaining social contacts and maintaining customs. Typical activities are the wreaths on the entrance doors at weddings, the placing of pallbearers at funerals, rifle and child rifle celebrations, crown festivals, Laurentius lantern festivals as well as joint bus trips and excursions.
One of the oldest neighborhoods is the sheep neighborhood around the Jakobikirche, which celebrated its 425th anniversary in 2000. The age dating goes back to entries in the oldest existing neighborhood book of the sheep neighborhood, which mention an older book that was destroyed in a fire in 1748 (see Schafsnachbarschaft Coesfeld , Festschrift zum 425-year olds, Coesfeld o. J., p. 21). The most important traditional event of the sheep neighborhood is the "Neighbor Eating", which takes place every two years, which reminds of the collection of a rent that was owed in historical times from a farm near Coesfeld in the form of two live sheep. However, since 2008, two sheep figures have been handed over at this festivity instead of live animals. The current provisional (= chairman) of the shaft neighborhood is Wolfgang Kraska.
The St. Antonius neighborhood around the Antonius chapel near the market square has published commemorative publications on its 325 and 350 years of existence.
Public service
The Coesfeld St. Vincenz Hospital is part of the Christophorus Clinics , an association founded in 2006 with the hospitals from Dülmen and Nottuln . The St. Vincenz Hospital has approx. 600 beds and is geared towards the areas of surgery, pediatrics (including the neonatal center), gynecology and obstetrics as well as cardiology.
The technical relief organization maintains a local group in Coesfeld. A technical train, consisting of a first and second rescue, as well as the lighting specialist group is held here.
An ambulance and an emergency doctor's vehicle are manned around the clock at the DRK rescue station, as well as an ambulance and another ambulance in day service. The local DRK association Coesfeld also provides a voluntary sub-unit for civil protection. On the one hand, there are personnel (and to a lesser extent material) in Coesfeld for the support group of the DRK operational unit Coesfeld 01 , and on the other hand management personnel for the operational unit. Furthermore, the local association supports the rescue service or the medical team of the emergency unit with an ambulance if necessary.
