Ibbenbüren (Westphalian: Ippenbürn) is a medium-sized town in the district of Steinfurt, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Ibbenbüren is situated on the Ibbenbürener Aa river, at the northwest end of the Teutoburger forest and rather exactly in between the two cities Rheine in the west and Osnabrück in the east, both approximately 20 km away. Ibbenbüren is mentioned in documentary evidence for the first time in 1146, when the bishop of Osnabrück at that time, Philipp of Katzenelnbogen, donated a tenth of his possessions in Ibbenbüren to the Getrudenkloster of Osnabrück. Although Ibbenbüren was already much older and a document of the year 1348 mentions the establishment of a church in the year 799, though the year 1146 is officially considered as the year of the foundation of Ibbenbüren.
