Greven

Greven is a medium-sized municipality in Steinfurt district located along the Ems River, combining residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and farmland. The airport Münster Osnabrück sits within its boundaries, serving passengers from the region.

The settlement grew from farming roots into a regional hub, with St. Martinus Church serving as a gathering place for the community. Later, the construction of the Dortmund-Ems Canal and airport transformed the area into an important transportation crossroads.

The town maintains a strong partnership with Montargis in France, which shapes community events and brings people together regularly. This connection reflects how the place looks outward and welcomes international visitors and cultural programs.

The town is easily accessible with its airport providing connections to other regions. The Dortmund-Ems Canal offers pleasant walking routes and clear landmarks, while shops and restaurants are concentrated in the central neighborhoods.

While known for its airport, the town also has a working inland port on the Dortmund-Ems Canal that handles cargo barges daily. Few visitors notice this quiet water traffic, even though it forms a key part of the region's commerce.
