Knickenbergplatz 7, 48291 Telgte

historical building

The Knickenberghaus, once Telgte's first schoolhouse, was built in 1820. After years as a boys' and girls' school, it became part of the Knickenberg Institute. It was later converted into a canteen for the Reich Labour Service due to a decline in the number of pupils and was finally used as a public library and a home for young people and the German Red Cross.

The house became famous in 1988 as the venue for the first "Treffen in Telgte" (Meeting in Telgte) on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the town with a visit from Günter Grass.
