 Brinktoren wind vane
(still with LEDs!) by pieter_jan_v
Furthermore The Brinktower was known for its high-tech digital clock with thousands of LEDs. From the beginning there was trouble. Even in the design phase the right colour of the LEDs was an issue and when constructed and placed, it turned out the recommended colour by the supplier would have given a better readout. Than technical failures followed, giving different readouts on the four sides up to complete failure of parts of the display. Rain water got in and the "who is responsable" question arose. After much debat the top was taken off in 2007 and all there is left is an open frame work (another historical piece of "Hengeler Weend").
On the City Hall tower there is an even bigger wind vane with the name "Levensgang" (the circle of life).

The St. Lambertus Basilic was build in 1890, but the catholic community was already 100 years older. Services started in a barn-church around 1800.
The big building withstood many World War II bombardments and was lucky to servive un unexploded shell that crashed through the roof.
Inside the Celebration Altar is the central heart in the church. Three more altars are present: the Hogh Altar by Friedrich Wilhelm Mengelberg and the Maria Altar and the Family Altar.
The three stain glass main windows form a connection fron the Old to the New Testament. Leave a Comment

Here's another location where the demolition team came along: Beursstraat/Enschedesestraat. A part of the Telecom building has gone.
A car park has been build here and the library is moved from the Town Hall to this location. Leave a Comment
