The town formed in 1816 when Prussian administrative districts merged to create a unified jurisdiction. This consolidation established it as an important administrative hub for the region.

The town's roots run deep in iron and coal production, which shaped how people worked and lived together for generations. You can feel this industrial heritage in the character of the community and local pride.

The town is best explored on foot or using local transit, and the area is accessible for visitors. The compact city center puts most services and amenities within easy reach.

The town maintains long-standing connections with partner cities across different countries, bringing diverse communities together. These international friendships have developed over many years and remain active today.
