Carolus Society Kaarster hosts upcoming event "Vorort-Meeting," touting a promising format
In the heart of Kaarst, Germany, a unique event brought together history, art, and community spirit. The first event, organised by the Carolus Board, saw a trio of local experts - Franz-Josef Moormann, former Mayor of Kaarst, Claus Schiffer from the St. Sebastianus Shooting Society, and renowned artist Burkhard Siemsen - share their knowledge and insights about the city's past.
The tour began at the surroundings of Old St. Martin, delving into the rural structure of the town in the 1950s and 1960s, a time when the pub culture of Old St. Martin was thriving. The group then moved on to two stations on Kaarster Cemetery: the Sebastianus Chapel, introduced by Claus Schiffer, and the current cemetery chapel, whose glass elements were designed by Burkhard Siemsen. The tour concluded at the gardens between the Benedict Kindergarten and the Vinzenzheim.
Throughout the tour, participants were captivated by the engaging and vivid presentations by the experts. The success of the event, as expressed by Carolus Chairman Lars Christoph, was attributed to the format that combined history with engaging presentations. The positive feedback from participants further fueled Christoph's intent to continue this format in the future.
The success of this event indicates a growing interest in local history among the community. Franz-Josef Moormann, with his active involvement in Kaarst's cultural scene, played a significant role in this event, showcasing his continued dedication to the city. The participation of Claus Schiffer and Burkhard Siemsen, while their specific roles may require further research, suggests their involvement in Kaarst's local history or cultural activities.
In conclusion, the expert-led tour was a resounding success, providing an enriching experience for all who attended. The positive response to this event opens up possibilities for more events of this format in the future, further fostering a sense of community and appreciation for Kaarst's rich history.
- Excited by the success of the event, Lars Christoph, chairman of Carolus Board, plans to organize more tour series focusing on the young lifestyle, home-and-garden aspects of Kaarst in its past and present, in an attempt to engage the younger generation with the city's heritage.
- In the subsequent events, it would be remarkable to witness Franz-Josef Moormann, a local culture icon, and other experts like Burkhard Siemsen, guiding tours through the home-and-garden layouts of Kaarst, highlighting the evolution of the city's lifestyle from the past to the present, making history engaging and appealing for a younger audience.
