    Short Description

    Our mayor, Werner Pick motivated a group of interested amateurs to meet and the smorgasbord decided to revive Herforst's Theater tradition.

    Of course, no one of our group had any idea what it means to perform in Drama Theater and where to start such a project. Luckily, we found a great teacher with Ms. Margret Meier. She took the lead of our group and taught us the basics of play-acting, with a lot of patience on her part.

    After we performed in several small play-acts, we planned the premiere of our first large theater project "The bachelor's wedding" in Spring 1992, a drama fromCharles Gérard.

    All 13 acting amateurs supplied best entertainment. The stage decoration, which was hand-crafted with very small detail, also won over the audience - everything was so well received, we knew the Drama Theater would have a future in the Herforst Gemeindehaus.

    Our daycare facility (Kindergarten) has three (age) groups and is operated by local authorities.

    It was opened in 1994 and is located in a former school building of the Herforst community. The building is easily accessible due to its favorable location at the village center. The old construction, which in the course of transformation was completely renovated and expanded, provides children and staff alike a comfortable family atmosphere.

    Short Description

    A special manifestation of solidarity is playing music together in the Herforst Music Club.

    Music lets people forget everyday worries and forms a special bond between musicians and audience. This was probably motivation for the few men, who decided, about 75 years ago, to form a music club in Herforst.

    No one knew, back in the day, that their endeavor would be a pillar of social and cultural life with such a long tradition in Herforst.

    Music creates a special carrying bond between generations, hardly presentable at any other club in Herforst.  It is very nice to see that many young people not only shape the music, but also contribute to it with their new musical aspects.
