    The bronze sculpture "Der Münzer" stands in front of the Kreissparkasse and was made by the Osnabrück artist Hans Gerd Ruwe in 1990.
    The sculpture is reminiscent of the coinage of the Diepholz noblemen, the later Counts of Diepholz, and their mint master Lambert Vlemynck.

      Did a residential tower or the house that the mint master Lambert Vleminck bought in 1514 or 1515 once stand on this site? We only know that Vleminck wanted to spend his final years here when his violations of the coinage regulations became so serious that the Bishop of Münster separated from him. During his time in Osnabrück and Münster, Vleminck also minted coins in Diepholz for the noblemen of Diepholz, and from 1515 onward. As was common knowledge at the time, he also engaged in counterfeiting on the express instructions of the noblemen. This, however, did not save him from ultimately suffering death in boiling water on the market square in Osnabrück.
