Oil Mill in Franz-Kleine Park
Highlight • Monument
From April to October, every first Sunday of the month there will be a showcase of oil beating. Also worthwhile are the other stations of the craft island. Here, besides the oil mill, you can admire a blacksmith's shop, a bakery and a wooden shoemaker's workshop.

Salzkotten Graduation Tower
Highlight • Monument
The plant is fed with the brine of the nearby spring »Neuer Sprudel«. The brine is pumped into a large gutter on the graduation tower, which in turn feeds the gutters on the long sides above the thorn hedge.
From the notches and taps of these grooves, the brine trickles into the thorns. The falling drops are crushed (aerosols) so that they can be used for therapeutic inhalation inhalation. Grading means gradually increasing the brine content of the water by draining it several times.

Source "New Sprudel"
The former graduation mill, planned and built by Rev. Philipp Korte, had a length of almost 600 meters and was shut down with the advent of rock salt in 1908. The entire complex was demolished in 1920/21.
