Meppen, Administrative center in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Meppen extends across 188 square kilometers at the meeting point of three rivers: the Ems, Hase, and Nordradde, in northern Germany.
The town received rights to mint coins in 945 AD and constructed defensive walls in 1360 under authorization from the Bishop of Münster.
The Gothic Priory Church of St. Vitus, built between 1461 and 1462, stands as the main religious structure in the center of Meppen.
The town maintains direct rail connections to major German cities and features multiple shopping districts across its various neighborhoods.
Meppen derives its name from the word 'Mappe,' meaning delta, reflecting its position at the convergence of three waterways.
