    Fuerteventura
    Since 1860, the then Puerto de Cabras (today's Puerto del Rosario) has been the island's capital. It replaced Antigua, which had only been the capital temporarily since 1834. Before that, since the Spanish conquest by Jean de Béthencourt, the place was Betancuria. The name Puerto del Rosario has been used since 1956, when it was renamed from Puerto de Cabras 'Goat Harbor' to Puerto del Rosario 'Harbor of the Rosary', after the Madonna of the Rosary, the town's patron saint. The valley south of the capital is still called Barranco de Cabras today.

    The cruise port of Madeira is located in the heart of the capital, Funchal. Cruise ships dock directly at the waterfront promenade or at the large outer pier (South Pier). From there, you can reach the historic city center in just 15 to 20 minutes on foot.

    Golden Wedding Anniversary
    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."

    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.

    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.
