Rheine: Ems River Crossing, NaturZoo, and the Northern Muensterland's Largest Town
Rheine has a population around 76,000 and sits on the Ems river in the northern Muensterland region of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The NaturZoo Rheine, specialising in native European species and conservation, is one of the region's most visited attractions. The Falkenhof Museum, housed in a Baroque mansion, documents the city's history. The Basilika St. Antonius, a neo-Romanesque church completed in 1905, is one of the largest in Westphalia.
Rheine was a significant textile manufacturing centre; the Kanalhafen (canal harbour) on the Dortmund-Ems-Kanal was central to this trade. The Saline Gottesgabe, a salt graduation tower, produces brine for therapeutic bathing. The Bentlager Bucht, a reconstructed Ems floodplain, won a European landscape prize. Rheine is close to the Dutch border (30 kilometres west) and the Lower Saxon border (15 kilometres north). Muenster is 45 kilometres south. Adult companionship follows NRW's framework in a city at the intersection of Westphalian and Lower Saxon cultures.
