Osnabrück bears the title Friedensstadt ("city of peace") because of its engagement in peacemaking activities. Nowadays Osnabrück is also known for its industry. Companies of the car, grocery, paper and steel sector are located in the city and its proximity.Despite the massive destruction after World War II the old city was reconstructed thoroughly and represents medieval architecture. More than 22.000 students of the University and the University of Applied Science characterize the urban image.Historically, culturally as well as linguistically, Osnabrück belongs to the region of Westphalia.
