The map
About this Ahlen map poster
Ahlen lies in the south-east of the Münsterland, in North Rhine-Westphalia, on the River Werse, which winds through the town in gentle curves. The historic centre forms a compact cluster of streets around St. Bartholomew's church and the market square, surrounded by a ring of later districts. Beyond them, the flat farmland typical of the Münsterland stretches out in a patchwork of fields and farmsteads.
From the early twentieth century Ahlen was a coal-mining town. The Zeche Westfalen colliery, on the south-eastern side, operated until 2000 and shaped the neighbourhoods around it, including workers' housing laid out in regular rows. On the map, the former mine site and its surroundings remain visible as a separate district with its own grid, set apart from the older centre.
Ahlen also has a place in post-war German history: in 1947 the Christian Democrats adopted the Ahlen Programme here, a manifesto that proposed a social form of economy. An Ahlen map poster frames the town between its river, its mining legacy and the open countryside, and suits anyone who knows the quiet, orderly look of the Münsterland.

Colliery district
The former Zeche Westfalen site and its planned housing estates form a distinct area with regular streets, a clear imprint of Ahlen's mining era.
Münsterland fields
Around the town, farmland, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads create a calm patchwork, so the urban area stands out clearly against its surroundings.
