The district and university town of Vechta, with a population of around 32,000, lies in the heart of the Oldenburg Münsterland area on the A1 motorway within the city triangle formed by Osnabrück, Oldenburg and Bremen. Vechta is well known beyond the region as a horse-loving community and for its annual Stoppelmarkt Fair. The landscape of Oldenburg Münsterland makes it ideal for cycling, which explains Vechta’s reputation as a cyclist’s haven.
Vechta is one of Northwest Germany’s economic powerhouses. As a rural area with several world market leaders in agriculture and as a centre of European plastics technology, it is very active on the international arena. A low rate of unemployment and a high birth rate make Vechta a family-friendly, dynamic town where people enjoy living and working.
The University of Vechta has several sites within the town. The campus containing lecture halls, administrative buildings, the library and the canteen are located at the Driverstraße/Universitätsstraße crossing, in the south-east of the town. There are also several smaller sites, including the Katasteramt, Burgstraße, Kreuzweg and Gut Füchtel.
