St. Aloysius Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

To this day, the people of Oesbern have been and continue to be active in order to give life to their church. Everyone used their skills to find the site, obtain permits, begin construction, raise funds, and thus give face and expression to the church.
In 1929 the foundation stone was laid for this small church, which was essentially built by the residents of Oesbern themselves.
By the way, the name of the church is not St. Michael but St. Aloysius.

Potsdamer Platz (Lüerwald)

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the middle of the Lüerwald or Neheimer Stadtwald you suddenly find yourself on Potsdamer Platz. No, not in Berlin, but here in the Sauerland. The square was created at the beginning of the 2000s because the forest workers needed a place to unload the felled wood and so created an open space here. When the responsible forester saw this place, he is said to have shouted "it's bigger than Potsdamer Platz".
And so the name has stuck.
