Golden Wedding Anniversary
It's impressive to be together for so long.
Unfortunately, not many couples manage that nowadays. The phrase "till death do us part" doesn't hold as much meaning today.

Goldene Hochzeit
Ist schon beeindruckend so lange zusammen.
Leider schaffen es heute nicht mehr so viele Paare. Bis das der Tod uns scheidet, dem wird heutzutage nicht mehr so viel Bedeutung zugetan.

Former Monastery
Built in 1844, the monastery is the most distinctive landmark of the town of Rhede. Until the early 1980s, it was home to the Steyler Missionary Sisters, who managed it and trained young women in housekeeping. After the Klausenhof Academy took over the monastery in 1983 for a symbolic one euro, it fell into a deep sleep – use was only possible to a limited extent due to the dilapidated building structure. In 2013, intensive planning began for a comprehensive renovation and repurposing, and construction work started in 2020. "The goal was to revive the monastery as a lively meeting place for different generations and social groups," says Astrid Vogell, board member of the Klausenhof Academy Foundation. "With this inclusive concept, we have succeeded in preserving this important house for the region while creating space for the people of today."

Ehemals Kloster
Das 1844 erbaute Kloster ist das markanteste Wahrzeichen der Stadt Rhede. Bis Anfang der 1980er Jahre war es Heimat der Steyler Missionsschwestern, die es bewirtschafteten und junge Frauen in der Hauswirtschaft ausbildeten. Nachdem die Akademie Klausenhof das Kloster 1983 für einen symbolischen Euro übernommen hatte, fiel es in einen Dornröschenschlaf – die Nutzung war aufgrund der maroden Bausubstanz nur noch eingeschränkt möglich. Im Jahr 2013 begannen die intensiven Planungen für eine umfassende Sanierung und Umnutzung, 2020 starteten die Bauarbeiten. „Ziel war es, das Kloster als lebendigen Treffpunkt für unterschiedliche Generationen und soziale Gruppen wiederzubeleben“, sagt Astrid Vogell, Vorstand der Stiftung Akademie Klausenhof. „Mit diesem inklusiven Konzept ist es uns gelungen, das für die Region bedeutende Haus zu erhalten und gleichzeitig Raum für die Menschen von heute zu schaffen.“

Evening in the City
The Rheder Bach originates in the municipality of Borken, in the southern part of the district of Burlo, near the recreational area Klostersee. Within the municipality of the city of Borken, the watercourse is also called Mühlenbach. From the municipal boundary to the city of Rhede, it is exclusively named Rheder Bach. It mostly flows in a northeast-southwest direction, passing through the area belonging to the natural region of the Lower Rhine Sand Plateau. The catchment area is characterized by predominantly sandy to sandy-loamy soils. The source elevation is about 56 meters above sea level, and the mouth into the Bocholter Aa is at around 28 meters above sea level.

Abends in der City
Der Rheder Bach entspringt in der Gemeinde Borken, im Süden des Ortsteils Burlo, unweit des Naherholungsgebietes Klostersee. Im Gemeindegebiet der Stadt Borken wird das Gewässer auch Mühlenbach genannt. Ab der Gemeindegrenze zur Stadt Rhede trägt er ausschließlich den Namen Rheder Bach. Er verläuft überwiegend in nordöstlich-südwestlicher Richtung und durchfließt dabei das zum Naturraum der Niederrheinischen Sandplatte gehörende Gebiet. Das Einzugsgebiet ist geprägt von überwiegend sandigen bis sandig-lehmigen Böden. Die Quellhöhe liegt bei etwa 56 m ü. NN, der Mündungsbereich in die Bocholter Aa bei rund 28 m ü. NN.[

Evening Walk 2
In the 12th century, the von Rhete family founded a proprietary church. Its parish was carved out from the mother church St. Georg in Bocholt. The Gothic hall church was repeatedly expanded until the 19th century. Due to space constraints, the building was demolished and a new one was constructed from 1898 to 1901 according to plans by Hilger Hertel. The consecration took place on June 12, 1901. The neo-Gothic, three-aisled brick hall with three choir apses has a polygonal central space. The tower is 77.5 meters high.

Im 12. Jahrhundert gründete die Familie von Rhete eine Eigenkirche. Deren Kirchspiel wurde aus der Mutterkirche St. Georg in Bocholt abgepfarrt. Die gotische Hallenkirche wurde bis in das 19. Jahrhundert immer wieder ausgebaut. Aus Platzgründen wurde das Gebäude abgerissen und von 1898 bis 1901 nach Plänen von Hilger Hertel ein neues errichtet. Die Einweihung erfolgte am 12. Juni 1901. Die neugotische, dreischiffige Backsteinhalle mit drei Chorapsiden hat einen polygonalen Zentralraum. Der Turm ist 77,5 Meter hoch.

Harz National Park
Ten years after the Kyrill storm, there is little left to see of the path the storm cut through the Harz National Park. "The areas have grown back," said Friedhart Knolle from the National Park. In total, foresters replanted 40 hectares following the hurricane. Around 80,000 cubic meters of wood fell victim to the storm in the Harz National Park alone ten years ago. Foresters removed 60,000 cubic meters that had fallen in the park's natural development zone in the year following the storm. The remaining 20,000 cubic meters in the park's core area were left to the natural cycle by the forest guardians.

Nationalpark Harz
Zehn Jahre nach dem Orkantief «Kyrill» ist von der Schneise, die der Sturm durch den Nationalpark Harz schlug, nicht mehr viel zu sehen. «Die Flächen haben sich verwachsen», sagte Friedhart Knolle vom Nationalpark. Insgesamt 40 Hektar bepflanzten die Förster in Folge des Orkans neu. Rund 80 000 Festmeter Holz waren dem Orkan vor zehn Jahren allein im Nationalpark Harz zum Opfer gefallen. 60 000 Festmeter, die in der Naturentwicklungszone des Parks umgefallen waren, entfernten die Förster im Jahr nach dem Sturm. Die restlichen 20 000 Festmeter im Kerngebiet des Parks überließen die Waldwächter dem natürlichen Kreislauf.

Morgens früh aufzustehen, ( auch im Urlaub ) lohnt sich immer. Nicht nur um ein tolles Foto zu machen, sondern auch um die wunderbare Natur und Ruhe zu genießen.
