Liesborn Abbey

Johann Christoph Rincklake (1764-1813) is considered the most important portrait painter in Westphalia. It is impossible to imagine the castles and palaces of Münsterland without his works, where they still hang in large numbers. Based in Münster, he shaped the portrait art of this region around 1800 and was extraordinarily successful as a commissioned painter for the nobility and the upper middle classes. In a joint special exhibition, the Museum Abtei Liesborn, Kulturgut Haus Nottbeck and Haus Harkotten-von Korff are bringing portrait painting back to life and juxtaposing it with today's selfie culture. The focus is not only on Rincklake's artistic work, but also on the attitude to life around 1800 and the special significance of literature for portrait painting at that time. Each of the differently oriented houses looks at the common theme from a different angle.

The Schützenfest tradition is also lived in Liesborn. Every year on the first weekend in July, the Liesborn Schützenfest is held. The weekend is spent together with a tent, bird shooting and different companies.

The Wadersloher Lädchen is open once a week. The Lädchen belongs to the association "Tafel Ennigerloh e.V." and provides food to people with low incomes. This not only helps in the right places, but also saves food.

The Plattdeutsche Krink was founded in 1995 and has set itself the goal of maintaining and preserving the Platt German dialect. The group meets to perform "Dönekes , und Vertellsels up Platt" and to sing Low German songs.

From 8 to 10 July 2022, the Whatever Happens Festival will be held for the first time at the Haus Nottbeck cultural estate. Around 25 national and international artists from the fields of indie, folk and pop are expected for the opening event at Nottbeck. With Enno Bunger, Ben Caplan, Lina Maly, Fortuna Ehrenfeld, Wilhelmine, 100 Kilo Herz, and many more.

On Saturday, 9 July, the Sparkassen-Waldbühne will go Irish: when Angelo Kelly & Family perform, you will feel the spirit of life on the Emerald Isle - with dance, stories and, of course, fiddle and song. An Irish summer evening for the whole family. On the Irish Summer Tour 2022, the family will be supported by original Irish musicians who have become part of the family over the years. These unique characters conjure up the atmosphere of an Irish pub with their instruments on the open air stage. The event, already scheduled for 26.06.2021, had to be postponed once again due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. All tickets already purchased remain valid.

Good news for LINA fans: Despite the tour cancellation, you will be able to see the singer live with her new programme on Sunday, 10 July, at the Sparkassen-Waldbühne. Anyone who has ever been to one of LINA's sold-out concerts knows about the special bond between the singer and her fans, which is very rare. Over 150,000 fans have come to LINA's concerts in recent years, where from the very first note there is a wave of enthusiasm that carries everyone. That is why the disappointment about the cancellation of her 'Hopefully a Tour' planned for spring 2022 was huge on all sides. LINA misses her fans more than anything else in this world and is therefore looking forward to finally meeting many again in summer 2022 at some exclusive open-air concerts and celebrating together with fans and friends. Tickets are available at the known stationary advance booking offices, as well as on the internet at www.mitunskannmanreden.de. Advance tickets: €45 plus €2 service charge and shipping costs Admission: from 5 p.m. Start: 6 p.m. The concert is being held in cooperation with the agency MITUNSKANNMANREDEN.
