The Bernhard Fountain: A monument to Lippstadt's founder

Bernhard II. - A man of many talents
Bernhard II. zur Lippe was more than just a count. Born around 1140, his life took him through monasteries, dioceses and finally to Lippstadt. As a monk in Marienfeld and later as abbot in Dünamünde, he gained experience that shaped him. His decision to found Lippstadt was not only politically motivated, but also an expression of his commitment to the region.

The founding of Lippstadt
In 1185, Bernhard II received imperial permission to found Lippstadt. With this decision, he laid the foundations for the successful development of the town. In addition to founding the town, he also endowed the Augustinian convent of St. Mary and thus promoted religious life in Lippstadt.
