Lambert Lütkenhorst, " With the presentation of the, at this point, 38th History Station of Dorsten, the proven co-operation between the Grammar School, the Lions Club Dorsten-Hanse and the the town is continued" „Mit der Übergabe der nunmehr 38. Station Dorstener Geschichte konnte die bewährte Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Gymnasium, dem Lions Club Dorsten-Hanse und der Stadt fortgesetzt werden“.
He showed himself to be very impressed by the "particularly successful" ("besonders gelungenen") History Staions. "It connects the history of the town district with the people who live here" ("Sie bringt die Geschichte des Ortsteils mit Menschen in Verbindung, die hier leben") is the way that the head of the town's administration praised the choice of themes.
Being a citizen of Holsterhausen, himself, Lambert Lütkenhorst highlighted the importance of the town district for the whole town. "Before Hermann knocked the Romans on the head, 2000 years ago, the Romans were in Holsterhausen". ("Bevor Hermann vor 2000 Jahren den Römern eins auf die Nuss gegeben hat, waren die Römer in Holsterhausen"). "Who can say that about Lembeck, Rhade and Altendorf?" joked Lütkenhorst in a witty way.

The speaker at the ceremony
Lambert Lütkenhorst related from his childhood, when his mother still called the Antonius Church ("Antoniuskirche") the Mother Church ("Mutterkirche"). The Catholics went to the school, "St Bonifatius-Schule" and the Protestants to the school, "Martin-Luther-Schule". Laughing, he said, "I won't say what the Catholic boys got up to with the Protestant girls on the Market Place" ("Ich erzähl' aber nicht, was die katholischen Jungs mit den evangelischen Mädchen auf dem Markt gemacht haben".
The times of the division in Holsterhausen are over. Grinning, Hohn said, as a best example: "After all, being a "53er", I find myself in the territory of the "Brudervereins" of the village of Holsterhausen". („Schließlich befinde ich mich als 53er auf dem Gebiet des Brudervereins Holsterhausen-Dorf“) ("Holsterhausen-Dorf")".

Lambert Lütkenhorst and Wolfgang Hohn
Relating many such "family anecdotes", the Mayor, Lambert Lütkenhorst, together with Wolfgang Hohn, the "King" of the Rifle Club "Schützenvereins Holsterhausen 53", unveiled the 38th History Station of Dorsten
Lütkenhorst and Hohn, the Unveilers of the History Station plaque.
It is located opposite the church "St Antonius Kirche" at the address "Hagenbecker Straße". The position was specifically chosen, as Jochen Schräjahr from the local history society "Orts- und Heimatkunde Dorsten" emphasised. Because the Hagenbeck Estate is said to be the origin of Holsterhausen.
