Hückelhoven, Urban municipality in Heinsberg district, Germany

Hückelhoven extends over 61 square kilometers across 11 districts, positioned along the Rur river between Heinsberg and Mönchengladbach in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The settlement traces back to the 6th century, with the first written record from 1221 mentioning Sibertus de Hukelhoven in documents from Dalheim Abbey.

The municipality maintains international relationships through town partnerships with Breteuil in France and Hartlepool in the United Kingdom.

The town center features the Hückelhoven-Center and renovated Alte Post, offering commercial services and business facilities for residents and visitors.

The Sophia-Jacoba colliery, operating from 1914 until 1997, marked the last active coal mine in the Aachen region.
