The badly damaged structure was rebuilt and now even the gatekeeper could move in again. A desk, an oven, an old telephone and a lot more can be found in the gatehouse. “Everything original from the Westfalia ironworks”.
The gatekeeper used to have to collect “bridge money”. Anyone who wanted to use the bridge to Wethmar from Beckinghausen had to pay. There were exceptions for employees at the Westfalia ironworks or the mine who could show ID. Anyone who didn't have one was allowed to use the bridge for 0.05 Reichsmark.

You definitely have to stop here and take a look at the former gatehouse. Furnished like a small museum with relics from the Westfalia ironworks.
