Rhede straddles the Bocholter Aa in western Münsterland, North Rhine-Westphalia, and its riverside position has shaped a compact town amid the region’s flat agricultural country. Close to the Dutch border, it belongs to the low-lying landscape of fields, farmsteads and lanes that distinguishes this part of the Westphalian Plain. St Gudula’s parish church is a focal point in the centre, while Rhede’s development was long connected with textile manufacture, which brought industry to what had been a rural settlement. Today, everyday town life sits alongside the cycling culture for which Münsterland is widely known.
