Dülmen, District town in Coesfeld, Germany
Dülmen is a district town in Coesfeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, positioned between the Lippe river and the Baumberge hills. The municipality comprises seven subdivisions that together form a mid-sized urban center in the western part of the region.
The settlement gained formal town status in 1311, establishing itself as a local trade hub. Membership in the Hanseatic League from 1470 onward strengthened its commercial role across the region.
The town consists of seven distinct subdivisions, each maintaining individual traditions while contributing to the larger municipal community of Dülmen.
The main train station sits in the center and offers regional connections in several directions. The A43 motorway runs along the southern edge, providing quick links to larger cities nearby.
A protected herd of wild horses lives in Merfeld, roaming freely within a designated area. These animals have occupied the territory for centuries and experience minimal human interference in their daily routines.
