History information

The Emsdetten municipal library is one of the architectural highlights of the city. At the centre of the building is the historic Jungendstil Villa Schilgen. It was built in 1887 according to the design of the architect Wilhelm Rincklake. In 1903, the two-storey plaster villa was enlarged and given its present appearance. The villa bears witness to the heyday of the textile industry in Emsdetten and, together with other villas, is characteristic of the style of the time.

In 1992, a modern extension was added to the municipal library building. The library extension created an open space for people to meet and exchange - a harmonious connection between young and old.
