Gütersloh, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The city extends across the Emssandebene lowlands near the Teutoburg Forest, with the Dalke River flowing through its municipal boundaries at 75 meters elevation.
The establishment of Gütersloh as a chartered city in 1825 marked its transformation from an agricultural settlement to an industrial center for textiles and meat processing.
The Stadtpark und Botanischer Garten houses collections of regional flora, while the municipal museum displays exhibits of traditional Westphalian handicrafts and textile manufacturing.
The city headquarters major corporations including Bertelsmann Media Group and Miele appliances, providing employment opportunities for thousands of residents in the region.
The former RAF Gütersloh military base, which operated from World War II until 1993, transformed from a Luftwaffe facility to a British Royal Air Force station.
