Arnsberg: Bezirksregierung Seat, Ruhr Source, and the Sauerland's Administrative Heart
Arnsberg has a population around 77,000 and sits on the Ruhr river in the Sauerland hills of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The city is the seat of the Bezirksregierung Arnsberg, the regional government authority responsible for much of southern Westphalia. The Altstadt curves around a dramatic loop in the Ruhr, with the ruins of Schloss Arnsberg on the hill above. The Ruhrquelle (source of the Ruhr) is near Winterberg, upstream from Arnsberg.
Arnsberg was formed in 1975 from the merger of Arnsberg, Neheim-Huersten, and surrounding communities. Neheim, known as the "Leuchtturm des Sauerlandes" (Lighthouse of the Sauerland) for its commercial activity, has a different character from the historic Arnsberg Altstadt. The Wildwald Vosskuhle, a forest wildlife park, is a regional attraction. The Moehnetalsperre, a reservoir famous for the 1943 Dambusters raid, is nearby. The Arnsberger Wald, one of the largest contiguous forests in NRW, provides extensive recreation. Adult companionship follows NRW's framework.
