Vom Dorf zur Stadt in einer Stunde – Historische Stadtführung für Grundschulen
Vom Alten Kirchplatz zum (nicht mehr ganz so) neuen Rathaus sind es nicht einmal 800 Meter und wer es eilig hat, kann die Strecke in zehn Minuten laufen. Wir nehmen uns eine Stunde Zeit, gehen den einen oder anderen Umweg und erkunden Orte und Geschichten aus den letzten 800 Jahren, in denen Gütersloh vom kleinen Kirchdorf zur Großstadt gewachsen ist.
Das Führungsangebot richtet sich an Grundschulklassen, die sich im Sachkundeunterricht mit ihrer Heimatstadt Gütersloh oder mit dem Thema Zeit / Früher und Heute beschäftigen.
