The Arenshorst estate in the village of Herringhausen-Stirpe-Oelingen is home to a charming, art-historically unique half-timbered church. The "Arenshorst Concerts", which are famous beyond the Osnabrück region, also take place here in the winter months.
A chapel has stood on this site since the 14th century. It was not until 1875 that the 36-metre-high red brick tower was added. The patron at the time, Wilhelm-Benjamin von Ledebur, donated the tower to mark his diamond wedding anniversary with his wife Dorothea. For many years, the building served as a chapel for the adjacent Arenshorst estate. The estate operates an agricultural business with its own hunting grounds and a large proportion of woodland. The pretty half-timbered church, the historic and lovingly maintained manor house and the old coach houses, together with the moat and the mighty old trees of the extensive park, form an idyllic eye-catcher.
Reinhold Tiling, pilot, aerobatic pilot, ingenious inventor and rocket pioneer, worked on the development of a reusable step rocket at the Arenshorst estate between 1929 and 1933. During a test on October 10, 1933, a serious explosion occurred. Reinhold Tiling, his assistant Angela Buddenböhmer and his co-worker Friedrich Kuhr suffered severe burn injuries from which they died the following day.
The memorial at the site of the accident on the Arenshorst estate commemorates the place where the pioneer and rocket researcher worked. With his visions and designs, Reinhold Tiling was already on the threshold of an era that culminated in man's flight to the moon.
The circular tours BO 1 and BO 3 take you past these special sights.
Note: The manor house is not open to the public.
