Rheine
Germany
Rheine, city, North RhineâWestphalia Land (state), northwestern Germany. It lies on the Ems River, north of MĂŒnster. First mentioned in 838 and chartered in 1327, it suffered in the Thirty Yearsâ War (1618â48) and was severely damaged in World War II, but it has been rebuilt. Rheine lies in a picturesque hilly setting and is the site of the Gottesgabe Bath, a small but popular saline spa. A rail junction with a secondary airport, the city produces textiles and manufactures machinery. Notable landmarks are St. Dionysius Church (1484; restored 1957), Bentlage Castle (1437), the Falkenhof Museum, and the main square with its Rococo houses. Pop. (2003 est.) 76,288.
