1400 years Soest – we congratulate

As a Soest-based company, we are proud of the history of our home town. But this year there is also something special to honour – the town is celebrating its 1,400th anniversary. Also from us: Congratulations to the city of Soest!

Soest was once an important city in the Hanseatic League. Many buildings from this period are still preserved in the historic city centre and the city therefore attracts many visitors.

There was a lot on offer at the anniversary celebrations last weekend, and as a sponsor, we also supported this a little. A square in the old town was transformed into a “beach area” with a music programme, and palm trees grew in Soest for the first time in the town’s history. Information on the anniversary celebrations can be found at https://www.so-ist-soest.de/de/veranstaltungen/sommer/1400-Jahre-Soest.php.

VOLKMANN GmbH has been a part of Soest’s history for around 50 years. The current expansion of our production with a large new building is our clear commitment to this location.

From 27 to 31 December 2024 – i.e. between Christmas and New Year – our reception and switchboard will only be open from 09:00 to 12:00.

We wish you a happy festive season and a good start to the new year!
