"Dat Holthus" -Café-Restaurant-Biergarten- in Wagenfeld: For about 20 years, this has been a popular dining destination for cyclists and a byword for homemade cake in large portions and for traditional, rustic, owner-run hospitality in a quaint atmosphere (Mindener Str. 15a, 49419 Wagenfeld, Tel.: (05444) 712 ; Owners: Günter & Marlene Holzförster). The wooden house, built around 2006 in the Finnish log cabin style, had its name from the outset in the vernacular: Dat Holthus. And so it has remained to this day. In good weather, you can sit wonderfully outside in the large coffee and beer garden, which is now shaded by quite large trees. "Dat Holthus" is open: Tue - Sun, from 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Monday is a day off. Table reservation is recommended for larger groups!

This bridge crosses the Hunte river.

The bridge – a truly special connection between Diepholz and Thouars. The bridge leaves plenty of room for the viewer's imagination, as its lighting concept is so varied that it is illuminated with different light scenes each month. For example, in June, the month of the signing of the town twinning agreement between Diepholz and Thouars, the bridge is illuminated in the colors of the German and French tricolors, as well as the coats of arms of Diepholz and Thouars. In other months, dynamic light displays depicting scenes such as beach and sun, snowfall, or spring meadows appear, constantly transforming the bridge's appearance. However, as soon as pedestrians or cyclists approach the bridge, their path is always illuminated in white light. Projections from GOBO spotlights clearly indicate the correct route in the approach area. This white light also appears in various movements on the bridge, making crossing it a unique experience every time.

A new building was constructed in 1904/05 to replace an older town hall, likely built in 1789. The three-story, brick-clad, historicist corner building, with its hipped and gable roofs, side gable projection, segmental and round-arched openings, profiled wooden windows, eaves frieze, stringcourses, bay windows, balconies, and slender corner tower with a tall spire and large gate for horse-drawn carriages, served as the town hall until 1985. Until 1927, it was used as a post office with an attached town hall, along with the local police station and two jail cells. Today, it hosts art exhibitions and events (Old Council Chamber). The county's Europe Direct Information Center was also located on the upper floor until 2011. [2][3] ] The State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments determined: “…historical significance within the context of Diepholz’s local history…” The new town hall of Diepholz, built in 1985, is located at Rathausmarkt 1.
