Lingen

Lingen occupies the Ems lowland in the Emsland district of western Lower Saxony. The River Ems runs through this regional centre, whose setting is defined by flat river country rather than the hillier parts of Germany. At the Markt, the Renaissance Town Hall, built in 1555, remains a focal point of the old centre. Lingen’s civic traditions are closely associated with the Kivelinge, a citizens’ association tracing its origins to 1372; the Kivelingsfest returns at three-year intervals with historical costumes and processions.
