On the 16th March 2004, the history station plaque of Altendorf-Ulfkotte was officially opened. The 17th hisotry station plaque should be given to the citizens of Altendorf-Ulfkotte during a small official festivity.
In the end, it was, however, a larger festivity because a large number of citizens didn't want to miss out on coming to the Kardinal-von-Galen School and being part of the festive occasion. Wolfgang Gorniak, headmaster of the Petrinum Grammar School and member of the Lions Club Dorsten-Hanse was completely surprised about the large audience. "I think it is fantastic, that so many citizens have come here and that shows, that they have a lot of interest in the history of their location" („Ich finde es ganz toll, dass so viele Bürger hierher gekommen sind und damit zeigen, dass sie großes Interesse an der Geschichte ihres Ortes haben." )
