Lennestadt

Lennestadt encompasses 48 distinct subdivisions across the Sauerland region, with the river Lenne flowing through its varied landscape at 280 meters elevation.

The municipality formed on July 1, 1969, combining seven communities from the former Amt of Bilstein, with settlements dating back to the Early Middle Ages.

The Elspe Festival presents Karl May stories through performances that draw numerous visitors, while the town museum in Grevenbrück exhibits regional heritage collections.

The municipality maintains an extensive public transportation network with railway connections and bus services linking all subdivisions within Kreis Olpe district.

The municipal coat of arms displays gold and green bars from Amt Bilstein's heritage, with a wavy line representing the Lenne River that gave the town its name.
