The students in small groups visited the School's facilities. We greeted several classes where English, mathematics, history and physical education were taught. We toured the indoor and outdoor sports facilities, the new physics and chemistry laboratory, the kitchen and the surprising bicycle parking in the basement.

As always we got surprised by small details like the school schedule, the posters on the walls, the boards in every room or the digital water fountain where you can gel cold, warm, hot still water or sparking water!!

The former residence of the noble von Morrien family is now a modern city museum.

Urban history, art and cultural history are our main topics. The city's development can be followed in the museum from the 9th century to the beginnings of the textile industry in Rheine. Archaeological finds from prehistory and early history provide insight into how our ancestors lived before the city was founded. Biedermeier living culture and works by artists born in Rheine such as Carlo Mense can also be seen.

The historic Morrien Hall with its rare painted wooden ceiling from the 17th century is a reminder of the history of the house. The attic, which was previously used as a granary, now houses the museum's extensive graphic collection. Art from the Middle Ages to modern times is shown in the Kasimir Hagen Collection, which arose from a private passion for collecting. 

A renovation in 2003 finally brought to light a sensation in the listed building: underground passages were discovered and in them thousands of shards that the previous aristocratic residents had disposed of. After their restoration, these special testimonies of life can now be seen again in their authentic location: from the leather children's shoe to the painted pancake plate to the delicate Venetian-style wine glasses.
