Bauhaus student Kurt Kranz painted patterns in abstract forms that were repeated in various ways, pictures in grids and lattices, rows of geometric shapes. He played with series and created infinite pictures. He was a pioneer of serial art and a role model for Sigmar Polke and Roy Lichtenstein.

"Total Tonal" under the direction of Jörg Hilpert is a perennial favourite in the region's choir scene. The a cappella ensemble from Steinfurt and Münster has been around for more than 30 years. The experienced musicians have developed a large repertoire, which includes classics such as "Lady Madonna" by the Beatles and "Can you feel the love tonight" from the musical "The Lion King". But titles such as "Land unter" by Herbert Grönemeyer or "Jolene" by Dolly Parton are also brought to life in fresh arrangements without instruments. The audience can look forward to music that is moving and a lot of fun.

The former market place was located at the entrance to the moated castle (1129), today still the residence of the princely family of Bentheim and Steinfurt. Today's old town of Burgsteinfurt developed from this core. The simpler half-timbered houses of the peasants, the larger ones of the merchants, but above all the splendid stone houses of the count's officials are examples of medieval architecture worth seeing. The centre of the historic town centre is the town hall (1561), with its finely designed gable. Burgsteinfurt's market square reflects two epochs in the town's history, as probably nowhere else in the Münsterland. The time of urban unfreedom under the count of Burgsteinfurt, who manifested his power in the construction of the wine house at Markt 19; on the other hand, the self-confidence of the aspiring bourgeoisie, which manifests itself in the show gable of the old town hall.

Travelling between the poles of figuration and abstraction, Karin Mayer constantly reveals new aspects and develops her versatile painting techniques such as acrylic, chalk, ink or pencil on different materials such as canvas, paper, wood, photos and transforms them into surprising new works of art using collages, stencils or hand-printed monotypes.

The artist, who is well-known beyond the borders of the Münsterland region, teaches her techniques in weekend seminars and workshops in her workshop in Nottuln and has been a freelance artist and lecturer since 2005
