The community of Isterberg, in
Grafschaft Bentheim, came into being in the 1970s, through the amalgamation of the two former communities of Wengsel and Neerlage. It lies between Bad Bentheim and Nordhorn, and is part of the Samtgemeinde ("joint community") of Schüttorf
(whose administrative seat is in the like-named town).
There is no actual village centre.
The namesake hill, the Isterberg -- with an elevation of 68 m -- is one of the last outliers of the
fire brigade
, which receives wide participation.
The farthest outlying portion of the Teutoburg Forest is not to be found right at the Isterberg, but rather in Bad Bentheim‘s outlying centre at the center of Gildehaus.
 | This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, We probably need to know what this centre/center is central to, or the center of, since "outlying" and "centre" are almost always incompatible: e.g., perhaps BB is (z. B.). (October 2022) |
On the way out of that centre, on Gronauer Str., going towards the Netherlands, the forest’s last trees stand.
It is supposed, however, that the Teutoburg Forest once stretched all the way to the Fürstlicher Busch (Princely Bush[Bardel.
Isterberg also has a no-fee outdoor swimming pool.
