Tourist Attractions
The market square is considered to be the best room in town. The historic town hall from 1555 with its stepped gable from 1663 is considered the city's landmark; Today it serves representative purposes and is available for civil weddings. Right next to it is the Alte Posthalterei, a two-story half-timbered house with a hipped roof, which was Lingen's post office from 1653 to 1851 and which now houses a restaurant. Otherwise, the market square is dominated by gabled houses, one of which is the house of the Kivelinge from 1583, one of the oldest town houses in Lingen. This is owned by the citizens of Lingen, the Kivelingen, founded in 1372. The humorous group of figures of the market fountain comes from Hanns Joachim Klug.
To the east of the market square and connected to it by the narrow Clubstrasse is the university square with the seminar building built between 1678 and 1680 (today the art school of the Kunstverein Lingen), the professors' house from 1684/85 (today the theater pedagogical center, TPZ Lingen) and the baroque Protestant-Lutheran Kreuzkirche, which was built from 1733 to 1737 and expanded in the neo-Romanesque style in 1888.
Burgstrasse is probably the most beautiful street in Lingen. From the market square you can first find the Hellmannsche Haus from 1641 with its richly ornamented half-timbered gable and the Catholic Bonifatius Church, built from 1832 onwards. A little further on is the Palais Danckelmann from 1646, which has housed the district court for centuries; part of the local history museum is located in the associated coach house (servants' house) from the early 18th century.
Also worth seeing are the Evangelical Reformed Church on Kirchstraße and the Pulverturm (Straße Am Pulverturm), which was rebuilt in 1961 by the Kivelinge, as remains of the former fortress. He is the last witness of the Lingens fortress, which was demolished in the 17th century. The original powder tower dates from the late Middle Ages. The baroque gate system on the grounds of the Powder Tower comes from the former house of the Orange Drosten Rutger von Haersolte on Lookenstrasse.
