Bielefeld – a big city in the countryside

Urban and yet green, big city and yet manageable. This special mixture is what makes Bielefeld so worth living in. With more than 340,000 inhabitants, Bielefeld is one of the 20 largest cities and the center of one of the five strongest economic regions in Germany, Ostwestfalen-Lippe.

The Bielefeld campus is a place of science, education and technology. It is formed by the University and the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences.

Bielefeld's leisure and cultural offerings are diverse - A visit to Sparrenburg Castle, which towers above the old town, is just as worthwhile as a guided tour through the underground passage system.
