The Kulturhistorisches Zentrum Westmünsterland is an institution of the district of Borken and the city of Vreden , which combines a museum , the regional history institute Westmünsterland , the district archive and the archive of the city of Vreden as well as seminar rooms, the regional history library and a reading room. In addition, the district home maintenance , the district monument maintenance and the culture department of the Borken district were housed in the new building.
The cultural-historical center was built as a project of the Regionale 2016 at the location of the former Hamaland Museum in Vreden. It is advertised under the term cult , derived from the culture and living tradition of Westmünsterland . After several years of construction, it was opened in July 2017.
location
The cultural and historical center is centrally located in Vreden in the immediate vicinity of the collegiate church of St. Felicitas and the parish church of St. Georg . The building stretches from the church square with the main entrance between Butenwall and Gasthausstraße for more than 100 meters along the dammed city moat to the Powder Tower . On the other side of the moat and the Berkel , which flows parallel to it, is the open-air museum with the historic courtyard .
From the Hamaland Museum to cult
The Hamaland Museum was originally set up by the Vredener Lande Heritage and Antiquity Association, which was founded in 1926 . After initially only a so-called "Heimatstube" existed, the museum was opened in 1938 in the historical rooms of the "Gasthaus zum hl. Ghost". This building complex is still integrated in the museum today. Based on the previous guest house, the premises were expanded several times and the farmhouse museum was added. In the 1970s, the Hamaland Museum became the district museum of the Borken district. Since then, it has been jointly sponsored by the district of Borken, the city of Vreden and the Vreden local history association. The exhibits were or are to a large extent on permanent loan from the parish of St. Georg and the Vreden Heimatverein.
In various permanent exhibitions, the Hamaland Museum showed exhibits on the work, natural and church history of the Vredener area and the Borken district. In addition, temporary exhibitions were devoted to various historical topics.
Regional project 2016
A project idea within the framework of the Regionale 2016 , which was carried out as a structural funding program for Westmünsterland from 2010 to 2017, was to create an "extensive 'historical memory' of the region". The aim was to bring together collections, archives and library holdings that were previously available in different locations and make them accessible for educational and research purposes. The project went through the three-stage qualification process from November 2, 2010 and received funding commitment on November 20, 2013 with the award of project status A.
Architectural competition
The cultural and historical center was to be rebuilt, partially including the existing building stock (parts of the old Hamaland Museum, monuments, former poor house and the adjacent powder tower in the Franke house ). The demolition of a building previously used as a youth home created additional planning space. The museum's exhibition area was to be increased from approx. 1000 to 1600 m². In addition, requirements were formulated for the space, functionality, economy and sustainability, green and open spaces as well as the research and learning area. Particular attention was paid to the entrance area, special visual axes (to the monastery and to the Berkel) as well as the connection to the city center and the area with the circular sports hall on the other side of the Berkel. On this basis, an anonymous architectural competition was announced, from which the architectural office Bez + Kock from Stuttgart emerged as the winner. A total of four prizes and two recognitions were given.

Ultimately, the design of the second place in the competition, Pool Leber Architects from Munich, who had successfully passed the VOF negotiation process, was implemented in cooperation with the Bleckmann / Krys office (construction management) from Münster. The entire complex comprises 24,300 m³ of enclosed space; of around 4100 m² of usable space, the exhibition in the new building accounts for around 2,100 m², other presentation space 400 m², research and education 950 m² and management and administration 650 m². The central part of the new part of the building on Kirchplatz is the atrium-like foyer, which has two opposite entrances from the inner city and the Berkel side. In addition to the reception area, there is also a spacious conference room on the ground floor. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in January 2015, and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on February 9, 2016. The construction costs amounted to 9.4 million euros, the total costs of the project amounted to 13.5 million euros. Pool Leber received further awards for their design, including the Architecture Masterprize 2018 in the Architectural Design / Cultural Architecture category and the Archmarathon Award 2018 in the Art & Culture category .
museum
Permanent exhibition
Vreden and the Borken district border on the Gelderland Achterhoek and the province of Overijssel in the west . The permanent exhibition on the first floor deals with topics related to this nearby state border , the previously controversial course of which was contractually stipulated in the Burlo Convention in 1765 between the Duchy of Münster and the Dutch States General . In the museum you can also see one of the historical boundary stones that were erected at the time, which show the Münster beam coat of arms on one side and two Geldrian lions on the other. These markings made of Bentheim sandstone are still standing today along the border between Oldenkott in the north and Suderwick in the south. The border ran right through the large high moor belt, which in large parts also forms a natural barrier. At the beginning of the exhibition, old handicraft tools are shown, with which the farmers cut peat on both sides of the border , cultivated the soil and fertilized pests . This is followed by exhibits on trade between Westphalia and the major port cities on the Issel . Heavily loaded Zompen used to be used to drive through Berkel , Vechte and Schipbeek (lower reaches of the Ahauser Aa). Another focus is the state border as a customs border and the inevitable smuggling that goes with it . The border separated not only states but also religions. With independence, Catholics in the Calvinist General States were forbidden to practice their faith. The exhibition focuses on a. the emergency chapels built for the Dutch Catholics along the border and shows an altar cabinet from around 1750, with which the faithful could secretly celebrate masses. What separates and connects things in terms of clothing and fashion conclude the tour on this floor of the museum.
The Vreden women's monastery , which was abolished in 1810 and whose former immunity limit runs straight through the cult , is the subject of the exhibition on the second floor. The view of the collegiate church of St. Felicitas falls through the only window. The canonesses , who came from noble families, had to prove their ability to become a monastery beyond any doubt in order to be accepted into the Vredener monastery. Sun presents the cult a particularly magnificent Aufschwörung Stafel of Augusta Countess of Manderscheid-Blankenheim and Gerolstein . This lady can meet the visitors in the exhibition as a hologram in order to report on her everyday life in the monastery. The museum exhibits that should be particularly emphasized include three gilded altar figures made of oak by the Vreden artist Georg Elsbeck . The figures, made around 1717, show Saint Ludgerus , Münster's first bishop, Pope Sixtus II , and Saint Norbert von Xanten , who, according to tradition, was converted at Vreden when he survived a lightning strike. The figures were recovered from the rubble of the collegiate church after the Second World War and deliberately left in their damaged condition. The exhibition also includes historical choir stalls (early 16th century), several graduals , liturgical implements and precious reliquaries as well as a selection of old and artistically designed paraments . A special highlight is the Sixtus chasuble made of wool, linen and silk , which according to tradition is attributed to Pope Sixtus II, who died a martyr in 258. In fact, the wool of the chasuble comes from the Persian Empire in the early 7th century. The chasuble itself was made in the 11th century.
Viewing depot
The viewing depot is located at the end of the building opposite the permanent exhibition, the former inn of the Holy Spirit , also known as the poor house . The poor house from 1575 was included in the cult complex, which is bounded here by the exposed outer wall of the Powder Tower (Haus Franke, Gasthausstrasse No. 7). The poor house and powder tower are part of the listed buildings in Vredens . The highlight of the poor house is the 33 m² historical wallpaper “ Telemach on the island of Calypso ” . It originally comes from Hof Schulze Lohoff in Laer (Steinfurt district) and consists of 22 tracks. The wallpaper was in the 1820s in Paris by the Manufacture Dufour & Leroy in 87 colors on handmade paper based on motifs from the 1699 novel, "The Adventures of Telemachus" by Francois de Fenelon made. It is one of four copies still available in Germany; 24 wallpapers of this type have been wholly or partially preserved worldwide. The Vredener specimen was restored for around 70,000 euros before the kult opened . A regularly changing cross-section of the museum's stock of magazines is shown in the viewing depot. This part of the cult opened on June 24, 2018.
Special exhibitions
On the ground floor, part of the exhibition space is reserved in a separate room for special exhibitions of various kinds on history, art and culture in Westmünsterland and for national topics.
Historical courtyard complex ("Farmhouse Museum")
From 1969 to 2019 the Vreden Farmhouse Museum was part of the Hamaland Museum or the cult Westmünsterland . Since April 2019, the rights of use of the courtyard have been held by the Vreden Community Foundation , which ensures the opening of the facility.
When farmhouse museum is an ensemble of eleven historic buildings from the surrounding area in the at Berkel located Vredener city park translocated were. The main buildings of the historic West Munsterland courtyard are the historic Früchting courtyard, a Kötterhaus and a functioning water mill that is fed from the nearby city moat .
