After five months, the archaeologists from the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments have largely completed their excavations on the church square of St Stephanus in Beckum.
Good news for Beckum's town centre: the application for funding from the "Sustainable town centres and local centres in North Rhine-Westphalia" programme has now been approved.
Some things tell a story. 50 things typical of Beckum will shed a special light on the history of our town. They are bundled together in an anniversary magazine to mark the 800th anniversary. Real treasures will be unearthed and highlights presented.
As an owner-operated company, Städtische Abwasserbetrieb Beckum takes over the municipal wastewater disposal obligation. At its meeting yesterday, the operating committee agreed to examine the transfer of this duty to the Lippeverband with an open mind.

Due to a change in the law, children's passports can only be issued until 31 December 2023 or extended for a further year for the last time. The Citizens' Office of the town of Beckum would like to point this out.
Anyone who has ever been to the Beckum Christmas market will know it: the colourfully painted children's carousel, which is set up in the centre of the market square. Behind it is the Anton family of showmen from Lippstadt: Angelika Anton, Peter Anton Senior, Peter Anton Junior and Lennox Anton.
