Cultural asset Haus Nottbeck

The Ruhr region is changing, its inhabited and uninhabited areas are subject to constant change. Capturing impressions and observations there is like taking snapshots in the rapid unwinding of time. On closer inspection, however, they become transparent to the historical dimension that cannot be overlooked in all the changes. Besides Malakow and winding towers, the typical features that shape the landscape of the Ruhr region include its numerous slagheaps, heaped-up monuments from earlier mining days that are now far more than just relics of the coal age. The man-made mountains have not only been developed for leisure and recreation, they also document a changed way of dealing with nature that has become characteristic of the entire region. Nature encounters art and artificial design as in few other regions in Germany; at the same time, the tourist lookout points of the slagheaps represent an ecologically important refuge for plants and animals.

Karl-Heinz Gajewsky and Jürgen Brôcan, both winners of the Ruhr Literature Prize, approach the slag heap phenomenon in different ways. Gajewsky accompanied the Hoheward slag heap between Herten and Herne with his camera for over a year and captured the diverse faces of the seasons. In the process, he covered a total of more than one hundred thousand metres in altitude. In his cycle of poems, Brôcan describes the slagheaps as places that are as mystical as they are concrete, where past, present and future meet in a unique and spectacular way. Going "Auffe Halde" is to be experienced sensually and intellectually by visitors in this exhibition.

We cordially invite you and your friends to the opening of the exhibition at the Museum of Westphalian Literature on 20.02.2022, 3 pm, at the Haus Nottbeck cultural estate in Oelde-Stromberg. On the same day at 5 pm, on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Ticket to ride - Frank Goosen on the trail of the Beatles", there will be a reading with Frank Goosen. Tickets can be purchased by telephone or on the internet.

"... the Red Album and the Blue Album are still among the first things I would get out of our house if there was a fire. After the family. Although - they can all walk themselves by now."

The fact that Frank Goosen became a Beatles fan has to do with moonlighting. With the words "Don't give me any money, give me some records for my boy instead!" Goosen Senior had an electrical retailer pay him at the end of the seventies for a few sockets plugged in after work: with Beatles records. That was it for the thirteen-year-old.

"And then my editor asked me if I would like to be in KiWi's music library, and who I would like to write about. I think I had the answer out before he finished the question. I couldn't have borne it if someone else had written about the Beatles."

In his book "Frank Goosen on The Beatles" (KiWi Music Library), Goosen traces his lifelong obsession with the "Fab Four": remembering his childhood and youth in the Ruhr area and the original locations in Liverpool. The

exhibition at Haus Nottbeck is dedicated to the Bochum writer's journey to the hometown of John, Paul, George and Ringo with texts and photographs from Goosen's private photo archive.

At the opening of the exhibition in the Museum of Westphalian Literature on 20.02.2022, Frank Goosen will read from his book, accompanied by Stefanie Hempel (vocals, ukulele/piano), creator of the musical Beatles tour in Hamburg.

In this exhibition, Museum Abtei Liesborn presents 40 masterpieces by eight classical modern artists. They are on loan from the Renate and Friedrich Johenning Foundation. The Johenning couple collected mainly German Expressionist art. The avant-garde artists were not concerned with the faithful reproduction of reality, but with making the world behind things visible and revolutionising painting. Almost half of the collection consists of works by Emil Nolde. Another important focus of the collection are paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker. But Alexej von Jawlensky, August Macke and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff are also prominently represented.

The South African recorder player and ECHO prize winner Stefan Temmingh is certainly one of the world's best on the recorder. He also inspires the professional world with his recordings.

At some point we all come to the point where we ask ourselves: Should my life go on as it is or should it be different? Who is good as a compass then? Influencers who think they're great? Activists who end up in the daily news? Or the quiet ones who sit in the second row? For journalist Gisela Steinhauer, the answer is clear: the most original paths are shown by "weird birds" who change their direction of flight. In this book they meet. From the submarine commander who became a shaman, to a Bembel potter who moved to the Sinai and guides tourists through the desert, to TV presenter Hape Kerkeling. From the undertaker who revolutionised our way of mourning, to Cornelia Funke, who uses fantasy to ease the way into life for young and old, to the ballet dancer who saves food from the fields. All these people can inspire - perhaps also to a new beginning of their own.
