Dilsen-Stokkem

Dilsen-Stokkem is a municipality in Belgium's Limburg province that brings together five communities: Dilsen, Elen, Lanklaar, Rotem, and Stokkem. The area consists of rural villages and smaller settlements spread across varied terrain.

The municipality took its current form in 1977 when several separate communities merged into a single administrative unit. This consolidation was part of broader regional reforms that reshaped Limburg's governance.

Local residents participate in regular markets and festivals throughout the year, where traditional Belgian crafts and regional products take center stage.

The municipal administration is located at a central point and offers residents access to administrative services and community facilities. Visitors can find the necessary contact points for administrative matters and local information.

Professional snooker player Luca Brecel, who won the World Championship in 2023, is from this area. His achievement brought international attention to the region's sporting talent.
