The charm of Bielefeld and the region is subtle
The mentality of East Westphalia is something special: Outsiders would confuse it with stubbornness, whereas the natives would call it restraint. Even Bielefeld is in no rush to make a spectacle of itself, its appeal is also gentle. Not because it has nothing to offer, but because it knows just what it has to offer. All by itself. The impression it leaves behind, if allowed to, is long-lasting. Because it really does make a difference if you simply reside or actually live. Fortunately, sometimes it's simply that the right city is missing.
From Bielefeld to "Liebe"-feld
For those native to the city of Bielefeld, this is incomprehensible: Bielefeld is not a love-at-first-sight city for everyone. But definitely by the second. And then it stays that way. Forever. The East Westphalian metropolis thrives on its contrasts: Expansive green areas and city flare, the infrastructure of a major city and the feel of a small town; people who are culturally engaged. Those willing to embrace this city with its rough edges will soon realise why Bielefeld is often referred to by its residents as "Liebe"-feld.
