Living and feeling good in Bielefeld
Bielefeld is a city with character - nestled in the green hilly landscape of the Teutoburg Forest and at the same time an important business and educational location. People who live in Bielefeld enjoy the proximity to nature and at the same time benefit from urban diversity.
Sparrenburg Castle, the city's landmark, towers over the old town and invites you to take a walk with a panoramic view. The Bürgerpark and the Olderdissen zoo are popular excursion destinations - ideal for families with children or anyone looking for a bit of relaxation after moving to Bielefeld.
Charming districts - where would you like to live?
Every district of Bielefeld has its own character. In Schildesche, you can enjoy a quiet residential area with historical flair.

If you want to live centrally, Mitte or Sieker are the best places to live - with direct proximity to shopping facilities, cafés and public transport.
Districts such as Theesen or Heepen are particularly attractive for young families - quietly located, well connected and with numerous schools and daycare centers nearby. Those who prefer to live in the countryside after moving to Bielefeld will find ideal conditions in Jöllenbeck or Senne.
