Harsewinkel: Claas Combine Harvester Headquarters and the Muensterland Town on the Ems
Harsewinkel is home to Claas, one of the world's leading manufacturers of combine harvesters and agricultural machinery. The company was founded here in 1913 and remains headquartered in the town, employing a significant share of the local workforce. About 24,200 people live in Harsewinkel, which sits in the Guetersloh district of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Ems river, which eventually reaches the North Sea at Emden, passes through the municipality in its upper reaches here.
Guetersloh is roughly 15 kilometres to the southeast. Warendorf lies to the north. The flat Muensterland landscape surrounds the town, with dairy farming and arable land stretching in every direction. The Marienfeld district contains the former Cistercian monastery Kloster Marienfeld, founded in 1185, with a well-preserved Romanesque and Gothic church.
