KIVELINGE | TRAILER

The origin of the Kivelinge is based on an incident from the 14th century. During battles between the Count of Tecklenburg and the Bishop of Münster, the male population of Lingen was so decimated that the young, unmarried youths of the town were summoned to the ramparts as a last-ditch defense. Thanks to the support of the young warriors, it was possible to prevent the conquest of the Lingen fortress and to put the attackers to flight.
