Land of Eupen

The Land of Eupen extends over the northern region of Belgium's German-speaking territory, encompassing municipalities of Kelmis, Lontzen, Raeren, and Eupen.

Following World War I and the Treaty of Versailles in 1920, this former Prussian territory became part of Belgium, marking a significant territorial change.

The German language maintains official status in administration, education, and judicial matters, with residents demonstrating strong multilingual capabilities.

The region maintains direct connections to international transport networks, with seven airports located within 150 kilometers of its boundaries.

The territory forms part of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park, containing extensive moorlands that connect the northern and southern sections.
