Lünen

Lünen is a city that brings many things together: The buddy with the artist. The precinct with the Münsterland. In Lünen everything is flowing: Living close to the river Lippe, strolling at the Prussian harbour, relaxing by the lake park or canoeing on the river. Many idyllic places and green oases are to be discovered: In Lünen, leisure and recreation are in harmony with nature. Awarded as a bicycle-friendly city, Lünen scores with a well-developed cycle path network.

Enjoying art and culture is of great importance in Lünen. The Heinz-Hilpert-Theater with its more than 50-year-old tradition is the center of attention. In the neighbouring Hansesaal conference and event centre, visitors can marvel at the Lüner Hansetuch, a unique collection of paintings from international Hanseatic cities. In the museum, the city’s history comes alive. A wealth of events and leisure facilities offers varied amusement opportunities for the whole family.
