Gütersloh, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The district of Gütersloh extends across 969 square kilometers between the Teutoburg Forest and the northeastern edge of the Westphalian Basin.
The district emerged in 1973 through the merger of the former districts of Halle and Wiedenbrück during North Rhine-Westphalia's administrative reorganization.
The region contains theaters, concert venues, and art exhibition spaces, with regular performances taking place throughout the municipalities within the district.
The district administration manages essential services including healthcare facilities, educational institutions, waste management, and public transportation across thirteen municipalities.
The district's coat of arms combines a golden eagle from Rietberg, a wheel from Osnabrück, and chevrons representing Ravensberg, reflecting its territorial heritage.
