Werne, Historical Hanseatic municipality in Unna district, Germany.
Located at the southern border of Münsterland region, Werne extends across 76 square kilometers with a population of 29,680 residents in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Bishop Liudger established a chapel near the Lippe river in 834, marking the foundation of Werne under Charlemagne's authority during regional Christianization.
The town hall, constructed between 1512 and 1561, stands as a testament to the architectural achievements from Werne's period in the Hanseatic League.
The municipality maintains a central information office at postal code 59368, offering guidance about local services and registration procedures for new residents.
From 1899 until 1975, coal mining operations shaped the economic structure of Werne, transforming it from a trading post to an industrial center.
