In addition, the city of Bielefeld, is one of the most valuable centers that contributed to the development of the textile industry in the region. The first fabric and yarn factories were established here, contributing to the increasing importance of the region commercially.
As seasons change and during the winter the city receives a lot of rainfall and the atmosphere is foggy and dark; therefore it is not really preferable to visit during this time. The city is very important historically due to its immaculate preservation of structures belonging to the Middle Ages. The cuisine is heavy in potatoes and meat dishes and alcohol consumption is high; you can find many different types of beers.
