Bunde

The landscape around Bünde is gently rolling and fertile, with the Else flowing through the town, a setting that has shaped both its settlement pattern and agricultural economy. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Bünde became an important German centre for tobacco trading and cigar production, a legacy documented at the Deutsches Tabak- und Zigarrenmuseum. The town belongs to North Rhine-Westphalia’s Ostwestfalen-Lippe region, between the larger centres of Herford and Minden, while retaining a distinctly small-town scale. The Else valley and the low hills of the Ravensberg landscape place Bünde in a region where industry and farming have long developed side by side.
