On 26 March 1880 the Embellishment Association was founded in the Hotel Wülker in Lemgo. The committee representing the association consisted of Captain van Santen, senior teacher Uhlmeyer and Wilhelm Schacht. Reason for the foundation of the association could have been the demolition of the rain gate and thus the last city gate in 1878. The aim of the association was to protect the recreational landscape from destruction and damage. Hiking trails have been set up and maintained and benches have been set up. The building of the observation tower with a forest tavern on the Spiegelberg probably also goes back to the Verschönerungsverein. The association will also have worked for the preservation of the former fortified areas and their development into a promenade. In 1910 Fritz Eldagsen was chairman of the "Verschönerungsverein", a beautification association which now increasingly devoted itself to the protection of birds. Sometime in the 1920s the association will have dissolved. The splinter of the association reached the city archive in 2011. References documents to the association also in A 6186 (1882).
