Kelmis, Municipal district in Liège Province, Belgium.
The municipality of Kelmis encompasses an area of 18.04 square kilometers and contains several sub-municipalities including Hergenrath and Neu-Moresnet.
From 1816 to 1919, Kelmis formed part of Neutral Moresnet, a territory jointly administered by the Netherlands and Prussia due to valuable zinc deposits.
The Museum Vieille Montagne presents exhibitions about local mining heritage and maintains a collection of historical artifacts from the Neutral Moresnet period.
The municipal administration provides services in German and French, reflecting the linguistic diversity of this border region in eastern Belgium.
More than 50 original border markers from the Neutral Moresnet period remain standing throughout the municipality, marking historical territorial boundaries.
