Heinsberg, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The city extends along the Wurm River with extensive agricultural fields surrounding its central urban area and multiple historical buildings.
Heinsberg evolved from a medieval lordship established in 1085 and maintained its status until 1484 before becoming part of Jülich-Berg duchy.
The district courthouse building and St. Gangolf church demonstrate the architectural development of Heinsberg through different historical periods.
The main train station connects Heinsberg with Lindern since 2013, while the A46 motorway provides direct access to Düsseldorf.
The district gained international attention in 2020 as the location of Germany's first documented COVID-19 cases and subsequent research studies.
