Lüdinghausen

The town sits along the Dortmund-Ems Canal, featuring three medieval fortifications: Castle Lüdinghausen, Kakesbeck Castle, and Vischering Castle in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Lüdinghausen obtained its first city charter in 1308 and maintained strong connections with the Hanseatic League, a powerful medieval trading network across Northern Europe.

The municipality holds regular markets and festivals throughout the seasons, where residents display traditional Westphalian crafts, regional foods, and local music performances.

The town center connects to an extensive network of cycling paths and walking routes, with direct train service to Dortmund and Enschede through Lüdinghausen station.

In 1895, researchers discovered the Parapuzosia seppenradensis, an enormous ammonite fossil measuring 1.7 meters in diameter, in the Seppenrade area of Lüdinghausen.
