Welcome to Ennigerloh!

In Ennigerloh, THE GOOD LIFE awaits you with lots of culture, traditional festivals and leisure opportunities in the green surroundings. The approximately 21,000 inhabitants live in the core town and three smaller districts.

Between Münster, Hamm and Bielefeld

Ennigerloh is located in the centre of the district of Warendorf near Beckum and Oelde, around 20 minutes from the district town. Münster is around 45 minutes away by car, and Münster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO) is almost as quick. Bielefeld and Hamm are each around 40 minutes away by car, while Osnabrück is around an hour's drive from Ennigerloh.

Tip: The Münsterland is a cycling region! 4500 kilometres of cycle paths offer you almost unlimited possibilities in the city and in the countryside: you can easily commute to work by bike and go on great tours with friends and family.

Living in Ennigerloh

Around 12,000 of the town's 21,000 inhabitants live in the centrally located main town Ennigerloh, which gives the town its name, with its pretty historical town centre. The three districts of Enniger, Westkirchen and Ostenfelde are located to the west, north and east, just under a ten-minute drive from the centre. They are each home to around 3000 people.

Although rental and purchase prices are following the general property trend overall, there are still numerous niches to be discovered in Münsterland when it comes to building, buying or renting. Here you can find the average purchase and rental prices for a house or flat in the rural area of Münsterland.
