Burscheid

Burscheid is a municipality in the Rhein-Berg District in North Rhine-Westphalia located at roughly 195 meters above sea level. The town covers about 27 square kilometers and is made up of several smaller settlements that together form the municipality.

The area grew during the 19th and 20th centuries because of industrial activity, especially with the establishment of factories and production facilities. This development shaped the town as it is today and its role in the region.

The name Burscheid comes from early settlers who established themselves in this region. The town's character is shaped by residential neighborhoods clustered together, reflecting how people have organized their lives here.

You can reach the area by car via the A1 Autobahn and Federal Highway 51, both well-developed routes. Public buses run regularly and connect this town to nearby cities.

Haus Landscheid is a manor house from 1731 that was transformed into a hotel and restaurant after years of abandonment. The building shows how older structures here have been preserved and given new life.
