Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Twin cities municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The city spans 86 square kilometers, with the Ems River flowing through both historic centers and agricultural lands covering most of the territory.

The settlement dates back to 785, with Wiedenbrück receiving market rights in 952 and Rheda first documented in 1085 as a medieval trading point.

The Heritage Museum displays medieval artifacts while both city centers maintain traditional half-timbered houses along their streets, particularly on Lange Strasse.

The Federal Highway 2 splits the two main districts, with Saint Aegidius Church and Rheda Castle serving as primary orientation landmarks for visitors.

The restored old town features pavement symbols indicating historical crafts and businesses that operated in each building throughout previous centuries.
