Discover Gütersloh
Gütersloh is nature! Gütersloh is urban! Gütersloh is culture!
The young city with a historic centre on the outskirts of the Teutoburg Forest is home to re-nowned companies such as Bertelsmann and Miele, combining the down-to-earth nature of Westphalia with an air of international cosmopolitanism and gentle nonchalance. The lush green city centre and its surroundings are best explored on foot or by bike. Some of the nicest routes lead through relaxing, flat terrain and beautiful park landscapes such as the historic botanical garden and its medicinal herb garden. You might also be interested in taking a relaxing trip to the “Järvesauna” with its unique Finnish sauna area – or the City Museum with its idyllic muse-um café – before following the route back to Parkhotel Gütersloh in the evening.

Welcome to Rheda-Wiedenbrück
Rheda-Wiedenbrück is a twin town that emerged when the two traditional towns of Rheda and Wiedenbrück were merged in 1970. The two historic town centres are connected by almost fully wheelchair-accessible paths that extend for three kilometres through magnificent nature in the “Landesgartenschaupark” that opened in 1988 (now known as the “Flora-Westfalica-Park”).
Rheda-Wiedenbrück is a very old town: Otto I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, granted Wiedenbrück the right to mint coins, hold markets and collect tolls over 1,000 years ago. The first documentary evidence of Rheda can be traced back to the year 1088. An extraordinary number of historical buildings have been preserved in the town: The castle in Rheda from around 1180 and the many half-timbered houses in Wiedenbrück are now popular tourist at-tractions. The town is home to 200 listed buildings.
It’s always worth visiting the two cosy old towns. The half-timbered houses in the narrow streets are richly decorated, and you can have lots of fun deciphering the numerous inscriptions and symbols on your own or with a town guide. A range of independent, owner-managed shops, ex-cellent restaurants, rustic pubs and cosy beer gardens ensure a relaxed stay in the small town.
