Old Market Pump

Highlight • Monument

The market pump. For many years it served as a drinking water supply. In 1898 it was moved from the cemetery wall to the waterway. It was relocated again due to the construction of the town hall. Since 1984, when the market pump was rebuilt, it has been a reminder of its great importance as an old market pump. But you can no longer draw water from it.

Blacksmithing in the city probably only gained strength against the background of the decline in trade. The beginnings of the Friesoyther blacksmiths' guild are in the dark. The St. John's Guild mentioned in Friesoythe in 1535 was hardly an association of blacksmiths, as the patron saint of the guild was the Apostle Andreas. There is no doubt that the smiths' guild appeared at the end of 1599, when its statutes were first laid down in writing. At the time, however, the relevant provisions were already part of the well-praised tradition. In addition to the skill of the smiths, an important prerequisite for the flourishing of crafts in Friesoythe was that bog iron ore, an important raw material for production in the immediate vicinity of the city, could be extracted.

Spökenkieker is a Low German expression for people who are said to have the gift of second sight, especially the ability to predict deaths. Spökenkieker are said to be found primarily in Westphalia and Friesland.

The Low German term Spökenkieker can be translated into High German as "Spuk-Gucker" or "Geister-Seher". Spökenkiekern is said to have the ability to see into the future. Typical of Spökenkiekerei is the prediction of uncanny and frightening things such as serious illness, death or war.

Lange Pforte City Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic city gate stood right next to this square in the transition area Lange Straße / Bahnhofstraße. The massive gate was built as the most important part of the medieval city fortifications.
