In 1978, the inauguration of a wind rose took place on the "Hol-fast-Platz". She was baptized with water from all rivers in Germany. The city of Minden donated a coat of arms for the wind rose.

Boatman's mast of the Hol fast e.V. boatman's association.

The boatman's mast is an attraction on the waterway junction adventure trail.

In February 1949, 12 inland boatmen from Minden and the surrounding area founded the association.
-They were mainly employed by the federal towing company or in the Weser shipping company.

The name "Hol fast" was chosen as a symbol of holding on to traditions, to our profession and to the camaraderie among colleagues.

The name "Hol fast" was chosen as a symbol of holding on to traditions, to our profession and to the camaraderie among colleagues.

Tugboating on the Weser and the canals was in full bloom. The canal bridge and the Kaiser Wilhelm memorial at the Porta were chosen as symbols for the association's flag.

The first chairman was Fridolin Grote.
-The first association flag was ceremoniously consecrated in 1953.
-In 1957, the mast system at the intersection of the Mittelland Canal and the Schachtschleuse was ceremoniously inaugurated (Source: teutoburgerwald.de/region/ausflugsziele
