Coesfeld

Coesfeld lies in the Münsterland region at 89 meters elevation, featuring medieval architecture and surrounded by agricultural landscapes spanning 141 square kilometers.

The settlement received city rights in 1197 and became an important stop for pilgrims traveling along the Jakobi routes to the Way of St. James.

The city preserves the biography of St. Ludger, first bishop of Münster diocese, who spent his final night in this location before passing away.

The central district capital maintains direct train connections to Münster and Enschede, while offering multiple educational institutions including the Nepomucenum secondary school.
