Uentrop celebrates spectacular: 50 years of the district with full success!

On May 10, 2025, the Uentrop district celebrated its 50th anniversary with a big festival that attracted thousands of visitors. The event, which took place in front of the Westpress and Beta Finanz-Eisportarena, was rated as very successful. District Mayor Björn Pförtzsch praised the high participation and the positive feedback from visitors. It was particularly gratifying that security and emergency services reported a quiet course without any noteworthy incidents.

Karl-Koßmann-Straße, which was blocked for the festival, offered the frame for a blue light mile with various emergency vehicles. Over 60 organizations presented stands and actions that formed the attractive framework of the festival. From 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., people crowded on the site, and many used the shuttle bus of the Stadtwerke Hamm, which promoted 332 passengers. The driver reported a positive mood and spoke of a "merging of the villages".

visual attractions and culinary delights

The success of the festival was also shown in the number of visitors in Maxipark, where the parking spaces were quickly busy. After a short time there was only crumbs left at the cake stand, which illustrated the popularity of the dishes on offer. To finance the festival, 30,000 tokens were provided, which were briefly proven. The proceeds will benefit the child and youth hospice work in Hamm, whereby the exact amount was not yet known at the time of the report.

Another highlight of the event was an urban action with magnets that could be collected during the festivities. The anticipation for the upcoming district festivals, which are organized as part of the 50th anniversary of the city of Hamm, is great. A total of six other festivals for 2025 are planned in the districts of Herringen, Pelkum, Rhynern, Heessen, Bockum-Hövel and Hamm-Mitte.
