Written by Sebastian Gebeyehou
In the very lively museum village of Orvelte, where people live and work in the normal way, they have the opportunity to experience the history up close. Join in the journey and experience Orvelte! In Drenthe and especially in Orvelte, beautiful, thatched Saxon farms and other quaint buildings adorn the landscape. Even from the outside a feast for the eyes - but you can also take a look inside. Some of the farms are happy to open their doors! The village center regularly serves as a backdrop for special events and theme days, for folklore groups, markets and theatrical performances. And that's just a small part of the comprehensive event calendar. On the pages "village tour" and "events" you get a good idea of what Orvelte has to offer. For a visit to Orvelte you should definitely take the time.Source: www.besuchdrenthe.de

Open Air Museum CloppenburgThe museum village Cloppenburg-Niedersächsisches Freilichtmuseum is one of the largest open-air museums in Central Europe. On a total area of 25 hectares, it shows extracts from the historic rural house and cultural landscape of northwest Germany. In accordance with the requirement of a central, scientifically oriented and appropriately managed open-air museum, our institution is an attractive and lively place of research and mediation for its visitors. Our museum takes a holistic approach, d. H. it presents the concrete living conditions of the people by way of example on the basis of their traditional testimonies (house, furniture, implements, personal belongings) from a micro-historical perspective in their respective contexts (holistic).
The main topics include the documentation and presentation of the most important house and farm types of the northwestern Lower Saxony in their landscape and social differentiation, including and representing historical work and craft techniques, typical regional cultural landscape elements, old domestic breeds and historical useful and ornamental plants.
The museum village Cloppenburg sees itself as a dynamically operating museum institution. His collection and mediation focus ranges from the early modern period to the present. At the same time, we are documenting the transitions from a rural production society to a country-based consumer and service society, with a view to the more recent collections, which include the field of public festival and populary culture. With the building-related presentations in the open-air museum, additional exhibitions and events as well as a lively publication activity, we show a multi-layered picture of the cultural and everyday life of the people in Lower Saxony.

Levedag's millThe lower part of the former oil and walk mill might have been a former bastion and gun turret. He is bricked with small quarry stones. The middle part consists of carefully carved stone blocks, presumably from the demolition material of the 1680 looped castle.
In the northwestern corner of the "Hagens" was an exposed location with free field of fire in the direction of Rheine and Hörstel. The outer moat area with Mersch and Mörchengraben was created after 1652 by Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen (reigned 1650-1678).
The Tuch- und Wandmacheramt had great significance in Bevergern. 35 masters founded the guild of wallmakers in 1599. As early as 1654, the wallmakers had first applied for permission to build and operate their own fulling mill, because conditions at the Gravenhorst Monastery had become increasingly unfavorable. After they had failed several times at the opposition of the monastery, they applied again in 1785 and 1797 a concession, as they had to go for walking with their cloths to Rheine, Gravenhorst or even Bramsche or Plantlünne. On 01.05.1799, Prince-Bishop Maximilian Franz granted the concession to build a new mill.
The mill windmill was equipped with a hammer mill and was operated with wind; demonstrably the only one in the Oberstift Münster. The building plans of 1798 have been preserved in the Münster State Archives. However, the mill was built only in 1804. This was probably related to the dissolution of the prince bishopric of Münster in 1803 and the lease term of the miller in Rheine.
On 02/28/1880 the landlord Gerhard Levedag bought the oil and walk mill and with a contract of inheritance from 30.07.1838 the mill was transferred to his son. Until about 1923, the mill was operated; at the end with a diesel engine. At the end of the 19th century, the wings and the wooden gallery were still there, as can be seen in an old photograph. Over time, the mill fell more and more to ruin. At the beginning of the seventies Theres and Alfons Vormweg bought the stump of ruins, restored it and made it habitable. In the 1990s, the gallery was renewed and the tower increased by six meters to its original height. Pentecost 2004 the tower was put on a new hood. The ensemble still includes a Heuerlingshaus from the 18th century and a Backhausspeicher from the late 18th century.
The mill can be visited from the outside.

The Aachen Cathedral or Aachen Marienkirche, is the episcopal church of the diocese of Aachen and the most important landmark of the city of Aachen. The cathedral consists of several sub-buildings, their respective periods of origin include the era of the early Middle Ages to modern times. The Carolingian Oktogon, formerly the Palatine Chapel of the Aachener Königspfalz, is the most important architectural example of the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne had the central building and the west building built at the end of the eighth century as the core of his palace. The laying of the foundation stone took place around 795, the completion around 803. The Carolingian Palatinate Church is surrounded by several additions from later times, including the Gothic choir hall in the east and the multi-faceted chapel wreath.
The more than 1200-year-old Aachen Cathedral is a heterogeneous structure, influenced by many stylistic epochs, characterized by numerous overshoots, breaks and extensions. The function of the church changed in the course of history from the once Carolingian Palatine Chapel to the episcopal church of the present. As a place of the cult of Carl the collegiate church was from 936 to 1531 coronation of Roman-German kings. Since the 14th century, Aachen has become an important place of pilgrimage with the Sanctuary Tour, which takes place every seven years. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the cathedral in Aachen - albeit short-term - became a function that the church has been fulfilling again since 1930.

.. by a short stay, I was lucky in the evening sun a look at the local naval museum and the destroyer -D186- throw.
The Mölders participated in numerous exercises of the NATO, among other things regularly as part of the permanent operational units of NATO in the Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT) and in the Mediterranean (STANAVFORMED).
After 34 years of service, the destroyer Mölders was put out of service on May 28, 2003 in Marinearsenal Wilhelmshaven after the ship was taken out of service on 21 November 2002. After the ex Mölders was first included in the Defense Technological Study Collection Koblenz des Bundes, she then came as a permanent loan to the German Maritime Museum in Wilhelmshaven. Since June 24, 2005, it has been open to the public as a floating museum exhibit.
