In the 1980s, Westerstede's cityscape was modernized considerably. In this context, the market square was also redesigned and Alice Peters-Ohsam was asked to design a fountain. She developed a circular and tiered system consisting of a pool with a round stone slab. This serves as a base for the fountain system, which was cast in bronze. A tall fountain is placed in the center, around which five smaller fountains are arranged in an outer circle.
On another level below, the gushing water is collected in small basins before it is returned to the fountain circuit. Alice Peters-Ohsam was inspired by natural watercourses when designing the fountain. The surface structure of this facility is reminiscent of the residue of falling water and the fountains associate whitewater streams in the mountains or geysers.

The town hall is located directly on the old market square in Westerstede. The tourism is housed in the town hall, where you can get very nice advice. There are also good cycling maps with round tours that start in Westerstede and are very well signposted.

The market square, the center of the town, only emerged after the great fire of 1815. The market square, the center of the town, only emerged after the great fire of 1815. Over 50 buildings fell victim to the flames. The then bailiff of Negelein was a far-sighted man; despite protests from the affected residents, he prevented the houses from being rebuilt on their original site. For a long time, the square was a traffic hub. In the late 1970s, a pedestrian zone was planned as part of the urban redevelopment. Traffic was to be diverted around the outside of Westerstede. The church could hardly withstand the load of the trucks and cars passing through. The tower was already bulging. Therefore, concrete action was needed because, of course, people wanted to preserve the church.
