Rietberg

Rietberg combines a carefully preserved historic centre with the open lowland setting of the Ems in a way that reflects its position in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia. The town developed as the seat of the Counts of Rietberg, whose county was once an imperial territory within the Holy Roman Empire. Half-timbered houses and brick façades give the centre a distinctively Westphalian character, while the Gartenschaupark, created for North Rhine-Westphalia’s 2008 state garden show, provides extensive public green space. Rietberg belongs to the Gütersloh district, a region of farmland and closely spaced small towns between Bielefeld and Paderborn.
