Rahden, Administrative town in Minden-Lübbecke District, Germany.

Rahden extends across 137 square kilometers in North Rhine-Westphalia between the major cities of Bielefeld, Bremen, Hanover, and Osnabrück.

First documented in 1033, Rahden functioned as the county town of its namesake district from 1816 to 1831, shaping regional administration.

The town maintains strong agricultural traditions through regular fairs where local producers present regional products and traditional crafts.

Seven districts compose Rahden: the central district, Kleinendorf, Varl, Sielhorst, Preußisch Ströhen, Wehe, and Tonnenheide, each offering specific services.

The northernmost railway station in North Rhine-Westphalia operates steam train excursions during summer months along preserved historical tracks.
