Tecklenburg is a city in Tecklenburger Land.
background
Tecklenburg and the small town around the castle were first mentioned in 1226 AD. Already in 1338 the place was granted city rights. Today the place with the well-preserved half-timbered houses and the castle ruins is one of the most popular excursion destinations in the region. Brochterbeck, a state-approved resort, Ledde and Leeden, which can also look back on a long history, also belong to the place.
getting there
By plane
The closest airport is the Munster Osnabrück Airport (FMO) (17 km south). From there it is best to continue by car or taxi.
By train
Until 1968, the city was served by the Federal Railroad in passenger traffic. After the line was shut down by the Federal Railroad, the station and the tracks continued to be used for special trips by the Teuto Express, a museum railway with historic locomotives in the Tecklenburger Land. After landslides in 2010 and 2012, this is no longer possible. The action alliance is currently trying per TWE to bring about a repair of the tracks. The nearest train station with regular services is initially in Lengerich, 10 km away (regional train line Münster – Osnabrück). From there it goes on by bus.
In the street
There are regular daily connections by bus Lengerich and Ibbenbueren. From Lengerich there are connections by bus and train in all directions.
