Dorsten is located between the river Lippe and the Wesel-Datteln-Canal. The city can look back to a flourishing medieval history, but has also an impressing industrial culture. Though it was heavily destroyed during the last war the more than 750 years of city history are still visible. The layouts ofthe fortifications are recognizable, a watch-tower and rests of walls give the visitor an idea of the former proportions.
