Coesfeld, Rural district in Münsterland, Germany
The district of Coesfeld extends across 1,109 square kilometers of northwestern North Rhine-Westphalia, containing ten municipalities including Dülmen and Billerbeck.
The region transformed in 1975 when the districts of Coesfeld and Lüdinghausen merged, incorporating additional municipalities from the district of Münster.
Saint Liudger, depicted on the district coat of arms with a goose and bell, represents the deep connection to the first bishop of Münster.
The district borders Steinfurt, Münster, Warendorf, Hamm, Unna, Recklinghausen, and Borken, maintaining strong regional connections through multiple transport routes.
The Lippe River forms the natural southern border of the district, flowing through landscapes that characterize the rural Münsterland region.
