Lohne, Urban municipality in Vechta, Germany
Lohne is an urban municipality in the Vechta region of Lower Saxony that mixes residential neighborhoods with industrial areas and farmland. The town occupies a landscape shaped by both manufacturing and agriculture across its territory.
The town began as a rural settlement and transformed into an industrial center in the mid-20th century when plastics manufacturers moved into the region. This shift permanently shaped the economy and appearance of the place.
The Industrial Museum, opened in 2000, presents exhibitions about local manufacturing heritage, demonstrating the transformation from agricultural to industrial production methods.
The town center is easy to navigate on foot and the central market square is a good starting point for exploring. Visitors will find regular market stalls there and can discover the different parts of the town from that location.
The southern part of the town contains the Südlohner Moor, a protected natural area that shows visitors the original landscape of the region. The location sits at a natural watershed dividing two major river systems.
