Donation marathon: Where is your money going during the Christmas season?

Donation marathon: Where is your money going during the Christmas season?

In the contemplative Advent and Christmas season, the donation in the Coesfeld district is blooming. From December 8, 2024, the donation collectors will be active again, while the willingness of people will increase. However, Susanne Terwey from the consumer center in Dülmen advises caution: she warns against being influenced by emotional calls. It is important to find out more about the whereabouts of the donated funds. Serious organizations present their projects in annual reports, while the German Institute for Social Questions awards donation seal and thus offers a valuable orientation for potential donors, such as radiokiepenkerl reports .

Day of the Open Monument in Coesfeld

On September 8, the historical monuments in Coesfeld open their doors as part of the "Day of the Open Monument". This initiative aims to make history tangible and to promote monument protection. Three important buildings take part in Coesfeld: the Bischofsmühle, the Evangelical Church on the market and the city museum the gate. The bishop's mill, which goes back to the 12th century and is considered the oldest building in the city, opens between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Guides provide insights into their gripping history and meaning, such as Coesfeld.de.

The Evangelical Church on the market, another highlight, is open from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offers tours at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The redesign of this church gives visitors the opportunity to discover the new, modern space that preserves the historical substance. Finally, the city museum invites the gate from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. to a visit, where the history of the city is presented in a fascinating way. The combination of these three historical sites offers visitors the opportunity to experience the rich history of Coesfeld and become part of the event.
