St. Mary's Church of the Assumption (Ahaus)

Highlight • Religious Site

The first Catholic church in Ahaus was built in the 14th century. The single-nave building was destroyed in a fire in the year 1400. Afterwards, a three-nave church building was erected, completed with the 68 m high tower that still stands today, which was built between 1498 and 1519.

After the Gothic nave had been destroyed by a town fire in 1863, the church was rebuilt within the preserved outer walls as a three-nave, four-bay neo-Gothic brick hall church with a two-bay, straight-ended choir[1] and completed in 1865. The Gothic sandstone tower was raised by one storey (consistently also made of sandstone) according to plans by Hilger Hertel, and the burnt Baroque helmet was replaced by a (neo)Gothic spire. In 1896, a third nave was added to this building.

Due to structural defects, the stability of the nave was no longer guaranteed at the beginning of the 1960s. In 1963, demolition and new construction were therefore decided upon. In 1965, the nave was demolished and the foundation stone for the new building was laid, which was built according to plans by the architect Erwin Schiffer from Cologne and consecrated in 1966. The windows were designed by Georg Meistermann.[2]

The bright, rectangular concrete building is characterized by all-round slatted facades with stained glass.

The Mahner statue (Ahaus Market Square)

Highlight • Monument

In 1967 this bronze sculpture, which is far larger than life-size, was created by Hilde Schürk-Frisch and dominates the market square. On the pedestal is the inscription explaining the sculpture: "Even if you too recognized on this day of yours what serves you for peace (Luk. 19:42)."

Teahouse in Ahaus Castle Park

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful half-timbered building in the quiet park of Ahaus. However, there is not much more to see than the facade, which is quite similar (from all four sides).

Ahaus Town Hall and Paulus Cycle Monuments

Highlight • Monument

The town hall looks a bit like 'wanted and not able'. One part copies the historical style with a staircase gable, but that doesn't really fit, the other tries to interpret it in a modern way, but that doesn't seem quite coherent either and the window fronts in particular don't seem to really fit in. In addition, an actually a little too dreary place in front of it (at least when the fountain is not in operation). Not really something that sticks as a memory and compared to the castle and St. Mary's not necessarily the part of the city center that you couldn't miss.
