Artist Hermann KunklerMerschtorbrunnen

The fountain sculpture by the Raesfeld artist Hermann Kunkler, erected here, Rochfordstrasse/Merschstrasse, by the neighboring financial institution as a gift on the occasion of the city's 700th birthday in 1989, is a reminder of the so-called "Essen raid" in 1652 at this point, where remains of the wall were laid during the laying of the foundations of the old city gate were found.

The area around the Merschtor has been decorated with the so-called “Floating Gardens” since 1997, which were built with great commitment by the “Haltern aktiv” association.

The fountain sculpture by the Raesfeld artist Hermann Kunkler, erected here by the neighboring financial institute as a present on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the city in 1989, recalls the so-called "Essener Überfall" in 1652 at this place, where wall remains of the old city gate were found. Since 1997, the area of the Merschtor has been decorated with the so-called "Floating Gardens", which were built with great commitment by the association "Haltern aktiv".
