Verl in Ostwestfalen: Furniture Industry, SC Verl Football, and the Guetersloh District
Verl is a town of roughly 24,000 people in the Guetersloh district of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The furniture industry has traditionally been a significant local employer, with several manufacturers based here. SC Verl, the town's football club, gained national attention by competing in the 3. Liga, an unusual achievement for a town of this size. The Landesgartenschau in 2008 left Verl with an expanded park system along the Oelbach stream.
Guetersloh is about 10 kilometres east. Bielefeld lies roughly 20 kilometres north. Paderborn is to the southeast. The flat Westphalian lowland terrain here is agricultural, with a mix of arable farming and livestock. Verl's settlement pattern includes scattered farmsteads characteristic of Ostwestfalen's Haufendorf tradition.
