Dorsten's History - Station 20: Herrlichkeit Lembeck

The Herrlichkeit lasted for many centuries until 1803. The mayor's offices of Altschermbeck and Lembeck, whose offices had been in Wulfen since 1825, were established in this area.

The subsequent office of Hervest-Dorsten also had its administration in Wulfen in the "old registry office" until 1938.
