Salt production in Bentlage can boast of almost a thousand years of history, with the first documentary mention dating back to 1022. The operations of the „Saline Gottesgabe“ were discontinued in 1953 and also the connected brine bath was finally closed in 1975. In the meantime, the area has been converted into a museum and historical cultural site that interested people can visit. Here we have a great mural made by the artist duo MANNSTEIN VILL at the salt house. More photos can be found on the pages for the sculpture „Der Salzsieder“ (= The Salt Boiler) made by WERNER BRUNING, at the Gradierwerk (=Grading House), the Salzsiedehaus (=Salt Boiling House), at the Schausiedepfanne (=Show Boiling Pan) and the Dreigiebelhaus (=Three Gabled House), which also functions as the visitors information center.
Two Salt Workers at the Salthouse
The „Salzsiedehaus“ is the origin of salt production in the Bentlage district and this is where the artist duo MANNSTEIN VILL created a historic mural in June 2023. It is located on the area of the Saltworks Gottesgabe. The occasion was for the 1000th anniversary of salt production in the city. The project was supported by the culture bureau and culture association „Münsterland e.V.“ also called RKP, which stands for „Regional Kultur Projekte“, means in English „Regional Culture Projects“. An additional and connecting artwork was made MANNSTEIN VILL at the Falkenhof Museum.
