Ecclesiastical history is examined through discussions on the parish community's origins [Kampmann], its role during the Nazi regime [Hüllinghorst], and its current state [Mettenbrink]. Folklore topics are explored via the occupations of locals [Meyer], a list of houses and farmsteads [Bergmann and Mettenbrink], and a record of demolished buildings [Bergmann]. One contribution focuses on the local school system [Meyer]. Natural conditions are addressed in papers about the weather station at Rahden-Preußisch Ströhen [Langhorst] and hunting practices [Langhorst].
