Gronau, Urban municipality in Borken district, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The town extends across 78.73 square kilometers of land near the Dutch border, featuring residential areas, commercial districts, and natural spaces.
The textile industry shaped Gronau's development after 1854, when Dutch investors established the first factory, leading to significant economic growth.
