Ostwestfalen, Geographic region in Detmold Government Region, Germany.

Located within North Rhine-Westphalia, Ostwestfalen combines rolling hills, river valleys, and wooded areas across its fertile agricultural terrain at 52 degrees latitude north.

The region developed through centuries of territorial changes, from its early days as part of ancient Westphalia to its current status within modern German administrative divisions.

Local festivals throughout Ostwestfalen display traditional German practices, with markets selling regional produce, handicrafts, and seasonal specialties from resident artisans.

The A2 and A33 motorways connect travelers to major cities, while an extensive railway network provides regular service between towns and neighboring regions.

The Teutoburg Forest within Ostwestfalen contains archaeological sites and hiking paths that reveal evidence of ancient Germanic settlements and historical battles.
