Bielefeld is a Westphalian city built on linen weaving and now home to firms like Dr. Oetker and Schueco, with Sparrenburg Castle above the centre. It is best known outside Germany for a long-running online joke claiming the city does not exist, though locally it is a workaday industrial and university hub.
