Düren, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Düren extends along the Rur River at the northeastern slopes of the Eifel Hills, between the cities of Aachen and Cologne.
The settlement originated from Villa Duria in 748, connected to Pippin III the Short, and later became a crucial location for Saxon campaigns under Charlemagne.
The Leopold Hoesch Museum presents contemporary art exhibitions and maintains collections focusing on the regional paper manufacturing traditions.
The city contains numerous manufacturing facilities producing paper, metal products, machinery, glass, paint, and motor vehicles across industrial zones.
The district territory encompasses both the Lower Rhine Bay lowlands and Eifel mountains, with extensive brown coal deposits extracted through surface mining.
