함민켈른 주변 최고의 버스 정류장 출발 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

1571년에 링겐베르크가 복음주의가 되었다고 기록되어 있습니다. 교회 공동체는 더 이상 가톨릭 딩덴에 속하지 않고, 역시 복음주의인 함민켈른을 따르게 됩니다. 하지만 15년에는 무슨 일이 있었을까요? 그 후로 교회가 누구에게 속하는지에 대한 분쟁이 계속해서 발생합니다. (함민켈른의) 루터파인가, 아니면 (링겐베르크의) 개혁파인가? 1648년에 브란덴부르크 선제후(클레베 백작은 이미 반세기 전에 멸종되었습니다)는 교회가 (복음주의) 양측 모두 예배에 사용되어야 한다고 규정합니다. 또한 1648년에 그는 30년 전쟁에서 함께 싸운 장교와 전우 중 한 명에게 링겐베르크 영지의 통치권을 부여합니다. 이때부터 폰 스판(Spaen, Spän이 아닌 Spahn으로 발음) 가문이 이곳을 통치하게 되었고, 먼저 재건에 착수해야 했습니다. 전쟁으로 인해 마을, 성, 교회가 파괴되었고 목사관은 불탔기 때문입니다. 1661년에 성은 바로크 양식의 성으로 확장되었습니다. 재건된 교회에서는 합창단 아래에 가문 구성원들을 위한 시체 안치실이 마련되었습니다. 이 중 하나의 묘비가 아직 남아 있습니다(탑 안에 있습니다). 오르간 아래의 검 역시 폰 스판 가문의 소유였습니다. 프리드리히 대왕 시대에 새로운 교회가 건설되었습니다. 1754년에 봉헌되었으며, 오래된 교회는 무너질 위험이 있어 철거되었습니다. 당시의 취향과 아르넘 출신 건축가 비레반트의 계획에 따라, 교회는 네덜란드 바로크 양식의 8각형 벽돌 건물로 지어졌으며, 처음에는 탑이 없었습니다. 1907년에 교회에 대한 대대적인 보수 공사가 이루어졌고, 이때 비로소 바로크 양식의 곡선형 지붕을 갖춘 3층 탑이 추가되었습니다. 1933년, 마르틴 루터 탄생 450주년을 기념하여 교회 앞 광장에 „루터 떡갈나무“가 심어졌습니다. 1945년에 교회는 대부분 파괴되었습니다. 폰 스판 가문의 묘지와 목조 묘비(영구적으로 소실되었습니다. 전쟁 후 함민켈른 출신 건축가 그뤼텐이 재건을 이끌었고, 교회는 1950년에 다시 봉헌되었습니다. 당시 슈타인바흐 목사는 피난민들이 교회 부지에 정착하도록 했습니다. 출처: Evangelische Kirchengemeinde An Issel und Rhein

Idyllic parking lot, but unfortunately, everything of interest around it is fenced off. There's still potential here.

Although the bench is now in a state of disrepair, the view into the gorged Stapelbach valley is still worth it.

The Issel rises in Raesfeld in Westphalia and flows into the Ijsselmeer in the Netherlands. It served as a border for the Romans and the Franks, and its course gave rise to border disputes between the Duchy of Cleves and the Archbishopric of Münster. The town of Ringenberg was founded in 1329 after Dutch settlers had drained the Isselbruch and reclaimed it. The castle that stands today is largely the same as a 17th century structure, but dates back to a castle from the 13th century.

"The Protestant church in Ringenberg was built in the second half of the 18th century according to plans by the Dutch architect Vierevandt from Arnhem and consecrated in 1754. It consists of an elongated octagonal brick building and a 3-storey tower in the simple Dutch Baroque style. The tower has a tail cap on an octagon. The church dates back to a castle chapel mentioned as early as the 14th century. As early as 1571, the originally Catholic church was transferred to the Evangelical Lutheran community. The building was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. The direct predecessor building was built from 1660/1661 and was so dilapidated in the 18th century that it had to be demolished. In 1907 and 1908, the church building from 1754 was extensively renovated and restored. The war damage at the end of the Second World War required the restoration of the coved framed mirror ceiling. However, the epitaphs in memory of the family members of the former lords of the castle, von Spaen, were irretrievably lost. Only a marble slab from 1768 in memory of Alexander Sweder von Spaen remained." https://www.hamminkeln.de/de/inhalt/evangelische-kirche-ringenberg/

Water buffalo are very peaceful and undemanding animals. Here they are used as "landscape caretakers" and ensure that, for example, the ponds and areas in the heath are kept clear and they thus limit the growth of reeds and woody plants. This means that these areas can be used by other animal species, such as frogs, toads and dragonflies, which in turn provide food for birds, such as storks. These areas also provide breeding or resting places for rare bird species, such as curlews and snipes. The water buffalo on this pasture normally have their "residence" on the Kragemann buffalo farm in Barlo and are only here to "work".

In 2001, for the 25th anniversary of the Dingden local history association, this draw well was donated to the NRW Foundation and the Nabu. At the inauguration, Wendelin Haverkamp named the draw well "Anton". Anton van Stegen was on the board of the Dingden local history association for many years and built this well. He still feels responsible for the draw well and regularly visits the well to check that everything is in order. The wood of the swinging tree (previously always made of oak) also has to be replaced every 5 years or so. Although Mr van Stegen would have liked to try it out with an acacia to see if it might be more durable. (Source: Bocholter Borkener Volksblatt, BBV)
