Neuenkirchen

This rural municipality sits at 58 meters elevation and covers several thousand hectares of agricultural land mixed with textile industry developments and residential areas.

The settlement was first documented in 1247 when Bishop Ludolf granted permission to build a chapel, later developing into an integral part of the Münster territorial system.

The community maintains strong local traditions through its active village associations, heritage museum, and regular festivals that celebrate regional customs and textile industry heritage.

The municipality operates its own railway station since 1931 and provides comprehensive social services including medical facilities, pharmacies, and well-connected transport links to surrounding areas.

The municipal coat of arms features three golden wheat ears and a red weaver's shuttle, symbolizing the dual economic foundation of agriculture and textile production since 1939.
