Pest Cemetery Welbergen

Highlight • Historical Site

The plague cemetery was a burial site established in the Middle Ages away from settlement centers for the rapid burial of victims of epidemics, particularly those of the plague. It usually supplemented the churchyard, where the deceased were usually buried with a church ceremony. During such epidemics, the victims were often buried quickly and without any ceremony, sometimes in mass graves. Only after the epidemic had subsided were joint church ceremonies often held for all those buried. Many plague cemeteries were closed by the 19th century at the latest, usually even earlier; however, they were sometimes still used, such as the Old Cemetery formerly used by deaconesses in Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda, which is still open as a burial site today.

Steinfurt Castle

Highlight • Castle

Burgsteinfurt Castle boasts a truly ancient history, and there is much to discover there. The castle was first mentioned in 1129. Since then, it has experienced much, even being largely destroyed and subsequently rebuilt. Today, no trace of this remains in the ring-shaped castle complex. The Bentheim and Steinfurt family currently resides in the estate, which also houses the princely administration.
