Coesfeld is a city in the western Münsterland.
background
The first written mention of Coesfeld comes from the early 9th century. On March 26, 809, on the eve of his death, the bishop and founder of the Münster diocese stayed in Coesfeld to hold mass in the Lamberti Church. As early as 1197, the community was granted town charter and was able to achieve a certain level of prosperity. But the city was hit hard by the Thirty Years War. The city was occupied by enemy troops from Hesse for 18 years alone. During the Second World War, the city was badly hit several times by Allied bombing raids. After the war, an economic boom began, mainly through the textile industry. Since 1975 the city has been the seat of the district administration of the district of the same name.
