Lienen, Municipality in Steinfurt district, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Lienen is a municipality in the Steinfurt district located near the Teutoburg Forest in northwestern Germany. The area spans gently rolling countryside positioned between the cities of Osnabrück and Münster.
The municipality developed through regional administrative reforms that shaped the area. A significant change occurred in 1975 when vehicle registration details were updated.
Lienen maintains strong international connections through established sister city relationships with Saint Marys and Marysville in the United States.
The municipality has two postal codes and telephone area codes for different zones. Visitors can navigate easily since the infrastructure is clearly divided between the main area and the Kattenvenne district.
The municipality experiences an oceanic climate and lies 372 kilometers from Berlin, positioned between the major urban centers of Osnabrück and Münster.
