In a brick-built former granary and a half-timbered house from 1750 is a museum trawling through Gütersloh’s history. The exhibits are mostly on the industrial development in the 19th century, the evolution of medicine and advances in media technology (for the Bertelsmann media corporation). The medical collection puts the museum on the map, and wa...
In Miele’s headquarters is a museum with around 200 exhibits from the 120-year history of the brand. As expected, there are dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and washing machines, but the museum has some surprises too. A small fleet of bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles is on hand, and maybe most interesting of all is the only surviving Miele K 1, a car p...
In 1912 the Stadtpark was extended to the northeast to make room for a botanical garden. This may not be a botanical garden in the strict scientific sense, but is a dreamygreen oasis listed on the European Garden Heritage Network. At the centre are geometric pools, hornbeam hedges trimmed to right angles and pergolas with little niches you can sit ...
Undoubtedly the prettiest scene in Gütersloh is the ring of charming half-timbered houses around the churchyard of the Apostelkirche. The city was bombed during the Second World War, at this little pocket preserves the most complete ensemble of historic houses in the city. The most photogenic of these is the Veerhoffhaus, dating to the 17th century...
While the four hectares of the Botanischer Garten attract most people to Gütersloh’s city park there are more reasons to pay a visit. The park is one of 12 in Germany to be given the Green Flag Award and in 2006 finished third in the list of “Germany’s Most Beautiful Parks”. The Stadtpark is furnished with facilities like the Parkbad, an open air s...
Northeast of the city is a set of narrow gauge steam trains that operate on a one-kilometre circuit on weekends from May to October. The track runs around a large meadow, at the centre of which is a shed full of vintage steam and diesel engines dating from 1919 to 1953. The earliest locomotives (Brigadelok and HF 110 C) were actually “field trains”...
On Berliner Platz in the centre of Gütersloh stands the city’s protestant parish church. The building was consecrated in 1861 and is a Neo-Gothic hall church, designed to accommodate as many as 1,000 worshippers at one time. And while the building and its architecture are impressive, the thing to see is the baptismal font. This is a zinc die castin...
The city got a modern landmark in 2010 when the futuristic theatre building designed by Jörg Friedrich was completed. The theatre was constructed in austere times, and its €21.75m cost was part funded by Miele and Bertelsmann. The auditorium has a 530-seater “vertikal theater” concept, which has seating arranged almost vertiginously to make up for ...
Under 10 kilometres southwest of Gütersloh is a moated castle founded in the 12th century by Widukind von Rheda, who died in Acre during the Third Crusade. It was then handed down a branch of the noble Lippe family, before being acquired by marriage in the 16th century with the Counts of Bentheim, who still own the property today. Schloss Rheda has...
Under 10 minutes on the road is a former Benedictine monastery, the roots of which go back to the 9th century. A catastrophic fire razed the Romanesque architecture in the 14th century, save for the tower, which dates to around 1200. The rest was conceived in the Late Gothic style in the 15th century, and the vaults in the nave and choir are painte...
