About this Soest map poster
Soest lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, on the fertile Soester Börde plain along the ancient Hellweg trade route. It was one of the most important towns of medieval Westphalia and a member of the Hanseatic League, and its map still shows that past clearly. The old town is enclosed by a nearly round ring of ramparts and moats, much of which survives as a green belt around the historic centre.
Inside the ring, lanes twist between half-timbered houses and a remarkable number of churches built from the local green sandstone, including St. Patrokli and the Gothic Wiesenkirche. Roads still leave the old town where its gates once stood, radiating toward the surrounding villages. Each November the town hosts the Allerheiligenkirmes, often described as the largest fair held in an old town centre in Europe.
A Soest map poster frames this medieval ring as the centrepiece of the composition. The circle of ramparts, the irregular lanes within and the straighter roads spreading outward form one of the clearest historic town plans in Germany. In black and white, the layout looks almost like an engraving, rewarding anyone who knows the town street by street.

Green-sandstone churches
St. Patrokli, the Wiesenkirche and other churches built of local green sandstone sit within the old lanes, marking the historic heart of this Hanseatic town.
Radiating roads
Roads leave the old town where the medieval gates once stood, spreading like spokes across the Soester Börde and tying the centre to its surrounding countryside.
