Zülpich

Zülpich is a town in Euskirchen district situated between Aachen and Bonn, with residential neighborhoods and farmland spread across its area. The terrain sits at roughly 180 meters elevation and includes several neighboring villages.

The settlement was known as Tulpiacum during Roman times and witnessed a battle between Franks and Alemanni tribes that changed Germanic history. This clash marked a turning point in the region's development.

The Museum of Bathing Culture shows how residents used water and warmth over centuries for washing and relaxation. Displays reveal the role of old bathhouses and fountains in shaping daily life here.

The town has government offices, schools, and doctors offering basic services to residents. Visitors will find everything needed for a short or longer stay.

Beneath the modern town lie remains of Roman thermal baths, showing how important water use was nearly two thousand years ago. Medieval walls are still partly visible and tell of a fortified past.
