Day of Open Heritage in Euskirchen Draws 1200 Visitors
The Day of Open Heritage in Euskirchen was a resounding success, attracting over 1200 visitors. The event, held on the second Sunday of September, offered a glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
Visitors enjoyed a panoramic view of the city from the evangelical church tower on Kölner Str. Railway enthusiasts flocked to the Prussian locomotive shed and the 'Zucker-Susi'. A classical concert in the 'Great Hall' of the Casino marked the day's finale.
The 'Café Paradise' and the 'CASINO' were open, providing insights into restoration efforts and monument protection. Tours on 'War and Peace' at the historic cemetery on Frauenberger Str. were particularly popular.
The lower monument authority is now seeking a photographer to accompany the next event, scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026. In the meantime, a photo contest, 'Moments of Heritage from Yen Tu-Vinh Nghiem-Con Son-Kiep Bac', is open until March 31, 2026, encouraging participants to document the heritage sites.
The Day of Open Heritage in Euskirchen was a triumph, thanks to the lower monument authority and honorary employees. The next event promises to be equally engaging, with plans for photographic documentation and continued exploration of the city's historical landmarks.
