The Schweicheln Museum School dates from 1847 and uses the original classroom furnishings to show everyday school life at that time. The school is open irregularly on certain Sundays, but at least once a month. Further information and audio contributions can be found on the homepage: https://www.museumsschule.de/ The outdoor area is freely accessible throughout. You can also see the rooms pretty well through the school windows.

Always an intoxicating view of the Werre and the Werretal.

Anyone who goes for a walk in the Doberg rarely gets their feet wet these days. Things were completely different 30 million years ago! At that time the North Sea still stretched here with a water depth of around 20 meters. Toothed whales and manatees lived in this shallow prehistoric sea. The most famous discovery was made by a worker in the marl pit: in 1912, he discovered the almost completely preserved skeleton of a manatee. The Doberg manatee is actually the earliest known ancestor of today's manatee manatees. Even apart from this important discovery, the Doberg is a fascinating natural spectacle. However, some unofficial paths are now blocked with chains or fences due to nature conservation. The main path and the paths around the forest offer enough insights.

On the way on the Werre cycle path

A small, seemingly private cemetery with a bench that is somewhat hidden. Unfortunately, the tombstones are badly weathered.

Here rests in God the faithful support of his mother and siblings Carl Theodor Werner Meinders, born August 18, 1820, died March 6, 1850 - this is what is written on the gravestone in the middle of the Schweichl forest. There are three theories about the grave that can only be weakly proven: Accordingly, Meinders was a tramp who was buried here in the forest after his death. According to a second theory, Meinders was a forester who died here in an accident and was buried on the spot. The forest grave is also popularly known as the "forester's grave". However, the fact is that Meinders was a landowner and lived on the Eickhof, which he received from his parents in a difficult time - 4 years before his death. He had to struggle with alimony payments, his parents' divorce and his siblings' emigration. The situation remains mysterious, however, because according to police files, Meinders hanged himself in the manor building on October 1, 1850. However, the church register of Herford states that Meinders only died on October 4th from a stroke. The theory is that the doctor hid his true death to ensure a burial in the cemetery, but when the truth was out he could only be buried in his parents' forest. However, it remains unclear why the dates on the grave slab differ roughly from the documented dates on Meinders. Both the date of birth and the date of death do not match the documented Carl Meinders. So the forest grave remains a mystery that cannot be fully explained. It's a pity that you have to research these stories afterwards, because there is no information on site and the inscription can only be interpreted poorly.
