Rödinghausen, Non-urban municipality in Herford district, Germany.
Rödinghausen is a municipality comprising five distinct villages situated along the southern slope of the Wiehengebirge mountains. The settlements are spread across the landscape and form a single administrative area.
The municipality was formed by merging previously independent villages into a single administrative unit. This consolidation established the framework that shapes local governance today.
The five villages of Bieren, Bruchmühlen, Ostkilver, Rödinghausen, and Schwenningdorf keep their own identities while sharing municipal services. Each village has developed its own local character over time.
The municipality can be reached through different phone area codes that serve specific villages. Visitors can easily drive through or walk around the individual villages depending on which areas they wish to explore.
Bruchmühlen is the largest village in the municipality and plays a central role in the area's character. The other four settlements maintain smaller but independent communities.
