Car Hire Ahaus/DC Beresa - Mini guide to Ahaus/DC Beresa

Ahaus is a municipality in the German district of Borken, which is found in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is situated very close to the Netherlands border, in fact about 20 south east of the Netherlands city of Enschede.

Ahaus comprises six districts (of which Ahaus is one) and the first mention of the town was in 1030, and at the beginning of the 1300s, Ahaus was awarded city status. Today, one of the city’s highlights is the ‘castle on the water’, completed in 1690, with gardens dating back to about 1718. Unfortunately, in WWII, a waterbomb destroyed the castle but the district and city banded together to have it rebuilt.

Borken is located in the north western area of Rhine-Westphalia, and for some time came under the bishopric of Munster, until the bishops lost the territory in 1803. The city fell briefly to the French from 1810, but in 1815 the area came under the Prussians, specifically, the province of Westphalia. At this time, the district of Westphalia and Ahaus was created.

North Rhine-Westphalia is the most western Federal State of Germany, and also the largest in terms of economic output and population. It was formed as late as 1946, after WWII, with the combining of three culturally separate and diverse areas: Rhineland, Westphalia and Lippe. Although for most people, when the name North Rhine-Westphalia is mentioned, they think of industry and large cities – but almost 52$ pf the state is used for agriculture, and another 25% is covered with forests. Several important and well-known rivers run through North Rhine-Westphalia, and these include: Rhine, Ruhr, Ems and the Lippe. The Pader river is the shortest river in Germany, and only runs through the city of Paderborn.
