A web of secrets: The Lippstadt paths
Lippstadt, the founding town, was once a fortress town. In order to move through the town quickly and undetected in the event of an attack, an ingenious system of secret paths was developed. These ran parallel to the main streets, but were slightly offset so as not to be discovered by the attackers.
The Dark Hall: an example of Lippstadt's cleverness
One of these secret paths was the Dark Hall. Its name already reveals a lot about its nature: the dense buildings and a dark passageway through the butcher's office building made this path difficult to spot. The Dark Hall shows how cleverly the people of Lippstadt planned their town to protect it from attack.
More than just escape routes
The Lippstadt paths not only served as escape routes in the event of war. They were also important communication routes for the population and enabled goods to be transported quickly and inconspicuously. Discover Lippstadt's secret paths on a historical city tour and immerse yourself in the city's exciting history.
