Werne an der Lippe ; Westphalian: Wäen) is a town in the Federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia in the Unna district in Germany. It is located on the southern edge of the Münsterland region near the Ruhrgebiet. The population of Werne is about 32,000.
The first Bishop of Münster, Liudger established Werne as a parish by erecting a chapel in the southern parts of the Dreingau . He acted on orders of Charlemagne who, having finally brought the region under the fold of Francia following the conclusion of the Saxon Wars, was eager to press on with Christianization. The Latin text of the oldest preserved document , which dates from 834 and is being kept at the Leiden University Library, indicates that by this time a village had already formed around the chapel.
