Dilsen-Stokkem

Dilsen-Stokkem stretches across 65.61 square kilometers of varied landscapes, incorporating five distinct sub-municipalities: Dilsen, Elen, Lanklaar, Rotem, and Stokkem.

The current municipality structure emerged in 1977 through the merger of separate communities, marking a significant administrative reorganization in the Limburg province.

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

The municipal services operate from a central location, providing residents with access to administrative documents, waste management facilities, and community resources.

Professional snooker player Luca Brecel, who became World Snooker Champion in 2023, represents this municipality's contribution to international sports.
