traffic

Rail transport

Sendenhorst is on the Münster – Warstein railway , which is owned by the Westphalian State Railroad (WLE) . At the moment, only freight trains run regularly here. A reactivation for passenger traffic in the section Münster – Sendenhorst has been planned for a long time. However, it is currently in competition with the Harsewinkel – Gütersloh – Verl route . The costs for the necessary modernization should amount to 32.3 million euros, the current subsidy 3.5 to 3.9 million euros per year. A study is based on 6260 passengers per day. A 20-minute cycle should be offered during rush hour, and 20/40-minute cycles during off-peak hours. In September 2015, the project was still in the preliminary draft phase, with the possible cost being given as “around 40 million”. On July 3, 2019, the Transport Committee of the State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia unanimously voted for the route to be included in the state's requirement plan for local public transport.

A lower benefit-cost factor was determined for the further route to Neubeckum. An extension to the central center of Beckum is not planned for the time being due to a new flyover structure or a level crossing of all four tracks of the main line Hamm – Minden and the associated capacity restrictions.

The city has a 1.76% stake in Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn GmbH.

Road traffic

The bypass has been planned since the 1950s. At the beginning of 2013, the plans became more specific, so that construction of the northern bypass can be expected in the 2010s.

Intercontinental airport

With the planned Westphalia Airport , Sendenhorst would have been integrated into a much larger traffic concept in the early 1970s. A major airport was planned between Sendenhorst, Albersloh and Drensteinfurt. In the final stage, the airport would have had 5 runways. The costs amounted to an estimated DM 1.1 billion. The planning was discontinued in 1973, the reason for the failure was the objection of the federal government and the low flight lanes of the British, who at that time still had occupation rights in Germany.

Sports

Popular sport is primarily carried out by the 12 departments of SG Sendenhorst 1910 e. V. covered. The riding and driving club Sendenhorst is active in the field of equestrian sports.
