Wettringen

Wettringen - a municipality with heart and tradition, "Dat Hiärtken van de Wiält" - as a Low German poet once put it. The municipality is located where the Aa and Vechte rivers meet, where our ancestors buried their ancestors in megalithic graves and where precious metals were dug in the Rothenberg. Wettringen is also one of the most bicycle-friendly places in Germany. In the ADFC Bicycle Climate Test 2022, the municipality was ranked first in the category of towns with up to 20,000 inhabitants.
