The antique door jamb from Horst Palace in Gelsenkirchen, dating from 1566, comes from a period that is not at all associated with the industrial city of Gelsenkirchen. Horst Palace was built in the 16th century in the so-called Emscherbruch on the border between the Rhineland and Westphalia and is one of the most important palace complexes of the Dutch Renaissance, which was also jokingly called the Emscher Renaissance in reference to the Weser Renaissance.
