Herford: MARTa Museum, Hanseatic Roots, and East Westphalia's Furniture Capital
Herford has a population around 65,000 and lies in the Ravensberger Land of Nordrhein-Westfalen, at the confluence of the Werre and Aa rivers. The MARTa Herford, designed by Frank Gehry, is a museum of contemporary art and design housed in one of Gehry's characteristic sculptural buildings. Herford was a Hanseatic city and an important linen trading centre in the medieval period. The Muensterkirche, a late Romanesque hall church, is the city's most significant religious building.
The furniture and kitchen industry established Herford as Germany's furniture capital, with companies like Poggenpohl and numerous suppliers still based in the region. The Wittekindskirche, on the Wittekindsberg above the Weser, references the Saxon leader who resisted Charlemagne. The city sits between Bielefeld (15 kilometres south) and Minden (30 kilometres north) along the Weser-Ems transport corridor. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
