Wettringen (Münsterland) is a city in Münsterland.
background
At the turn of the 8th to 9th century, a church was founded here by Charlemagne. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the place was plundered several times by Spanish troops. In 1771 the place became the terminus of the Max-Clemens-Canal. The boom through this trade route was short, as the canal was shut down in 1840. Today the place is mainly known for the Haddorfer Lakes.

Tourist Attractions
- 1 Haddorfer See - There are some quarry ponds here that have been converted into a coherent recreational area. While the prerequisites for bathing pleasure and water sports have been created in the quarry ponds, the offer on land has been supplemented by hiking trails, mini golf and camping sites.
- 2 Heimathaus Ahlers - With over 500 years, the building is the oldest building in town. The tourist information and the tourist office can be found here.
- 3 House Rothenberge - This villa was built on behalf of the banker Jan Jordaan in 1920/1921. It is therefore also popularly called Villa Jordan. The villa with tea house was built in the style of an 18th century pleasure palace and is currently owned by the Westphalian Wilhelms University Muenster used as a country home or for meetings / congresses.
- 4 St. Petronilla - At the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries, a wooden church was built here. This was replaced by a stone church in the 11th century. Around 1860, the 700 year old church was demolished and the construction of a three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church began, which is still the center of the city today. Despite the relatively modern interior, there are still numerous elements from the previous building, such as a font from the 13th century or a wooden cross from the 14th century.
- 1 Maxhafen - In 1771 the Max-Clemens-Canal was expanded further up to this point. But the planned extension to the Netherlands did not take place. So the port remained the end point of the canal. Only 70 years later, the canal was completely shut down. Today only one restaurant reminds of the harbor. From here, however, you can make good bike tours all the way to Muenster start. From Emsdetten you can also see the channel clearly.
- 5 Marienheim - The hospital building, which had to close in the 1980s, was re-inaugurated in 2012 as a facility for the disabled. There is a 300 year old statue of the Virgin Mary in front of the building.
