The Linnenbauer Monument, dedicated in 1909, stands at Linnenbauerplatz, commemorating the traditional linen production and trade that brought prosperity to Herford until the 17th century.
Deep below the current playground on the square is the site of the abbey's old watermill on the Bowerre, the "Mill Court." Until the 1960s, the Bowerre flowed through the center of Herford, separating the old and new towns. From the 13th century until secularization in 1802, the mill was owned by the abbey and subject to its jurisdiction – hence the name "Mill Court."
