The newspaper "Dorstener Zeitung" sponsors a history station about the theme of newspapers, as a way of celebrating its special birthday jubilee. For Dorsten's largest daily newspaper belongs to Dorsten's history like butter does to bread.
At the end of April, the plaque, attached to the building of the "Dorstener Zeitung" at "Südwall 27" is revealed. This plaque is the result of a joint initiative between the local history society "Heimatvereins Dorsten und Herrlichkeit Lembeck e.V" and the Petrinum school's history club. It gives information ranging from about how the first edition was published in 1804 up to the modern local newspaper of today and relates this to historical events in the rest of the world.
