The Bowerre is a former branch of the river Werre in the centre of the town of Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The Bowerre formed the border between the Altstadt ("old town") and Neustadt ("new town") until the 1960s.

It was the site of a linen mill from the 13th century until 1972, when the old course of the Werre was filled in, partly due to poor water quality.

[1] Filling in the Bowerre was controversial at the time, and later caused the groundwater level to sink in the town, which still causes ground instability today.
