Garzweiler, District in Jüchen, Germany
The district lies in the northern Rhine lignite mining area, forming part of the administrative area of Jüchen in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The original settlement, documented in 1283 as Gartzwilre, was relocated between 1984 and 1989 due to expanding lignite mining operations.
The St. Sebastianus Brotherhood of Garzweiler maintains local traditions since 1450, representing one of the oldest community organizations in the region.
The new location of Garzweiler, established north of Jüchen, resulted from a structured resettlement plan that relocated the entire community.
The district received a special prize for monument preservation in 2000 through the competition Our Village Has a Future.
