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.

The Rock and Pop Museum documents musical heritage through exhibits, instruments, and artifacts, making it the sole institution of its kind in Germany.

The central train station connects to major cities like Münster and Dortmund, while the A30 and A31 motorways provide efficient road access.

Located just 2 kilometers from the Netherlands, Gronau functions as a cross-border gateway between German and Dutch communities.
