When you get to know Herford, you quickly realize that this city is somehow different. Nevertheless, everyone here would agree: We're actually quite normal. But what does normal mean to a Westphalian mind? Events that elsewhere are cause for a press conference are benevolently commented on here with a relaxed "that's fine".
And it is precisely this unagitated manner that ensures that the people of Herford often surprise themselves with their bold decisions. And in all areas. Get to know the Hanseatic city of Herford in beautiful East Westphalia.
