Attractions

The small place has no special sights. Rather, it is characterized by its location in the foreland nature reserve. It is still worth mentioning "Haus Löhnen", namesake of the place, former knight seat, destroyed by the Spanish in 1589 and later rebuilt. Unfortunately, there are only remains of the foundation and hints of the former moat. "House wages" was first mentioned in the 14th century. The first tenant was Johannes von Podick, who was followed by four generations. Today's Löhnens coat of arms is derived from the von Podicks family coat of arms, a red heart in a silver shield.

At the end of the 1960s, the Dinslaken municipal utilities began looking for suitable, high-quality groundwater resources to supply the city's up-and-coming industry and dynamic population development on behalf of the city of Dinslaken. They found what they were looking for in wages near the Momm valley. They began to build a waterworks with a central softening system , which was innovative at the time .

Education and sport

There is no longer any school in wages; it used to be in the cultural and social meeting place "De alde School". In the local area there is the shooting club BSV "Vivat Löhnen".

economy
