In 2011, the City Council adopted a policy resolution to create an "urban cultural quarter on both sides of the Bocholter Aa between the city centre and Aasee, Industriestraße and Don-Bosco-Straße". In the same year, the name "Textilwerk" was chosen for the museum’s two sites. Since the end of 2018, a 13-metre-wide bridge over the Aa, the "Podiumsbrücke", has connected the two sites. The Aa is to be further renaturalised. Some parts of the area are earmarked for housing development. |
The museum comprises two sites on either side of the river [[Bocholter Aa]]. Its focus is on the technical, social, economic and cultural aspects of textile production in the [[Münster (region)|Münsterland]] region, particularly during the 19th and 20th centuries. |
