Senden

Senden is a municipality in Coesfeld District in North Rhine-Westphalia, comprised of four villages spread across rural areas. The landscape is mostly flat with open fields and small settlements connected by local roads.

The municipality developed from several historical settlements, with Senden first mentioned in records around 890. The other villages joined over time as the region grew and populations expanded into surrounding areas.

The municipality maintains seven educational institutions, including primary schools and a Gymnasium, serving its population of 20,991 residents across different villages.

The municipality connects well to major routes through the A43 highway and local buses serve the different villages. A railway station in Bösensell offers additional travel options for those moving between communities.

The Venner Moor nature reserve near the Dortmund-Ems Canal displays natural swamp formations that shape the local surroundings. This protected area offers a glimpse into the region's original wetland character that few visitors expect to find.
