Neumünster, Trade fair location in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Neumünster is a medium-sized town in Schleswig-Holstein, located roughly halfway between Hamburg and Kiel, divided into nine neighborhoods. The town covers an area where around 79,000 people live and sits at an elevation of approximately 22 meters above sea level.
The history began in 1127 when Bishop Vicelinus founded a monastery here and the settlement was first called Wippendorp. The town received its municipal charter only in 1870, when the textile industry already played an important role in the development of the community.
Museum Tuch + Technik displays the development of cloth production from the Iron Age to modern times, recalling the era when the town was one of the most important textile manufacturing centers in northern Germany. Visitors can see the old weaving machines and understand how the cloth makers worked and what role their labor played for the people living here.
The central railway station connects six different railway lines and makes the town an important hub for travelers in the northern part of Germany. From the station, most sights in the center can be reached on foot, which makes orientation easier.
The zoo spreads across 24 hectares of woodland and houses around 700 animals from roughly 100 different species, including many native wildlife from the northern German region. The park-like grounds were designed so that the animals can live in spacious enclosures that resemble their natural habitat.
