Selfkant, Non-urban municipality in Heinsberg, Germany
Selfkant extends across 42.08 square kilometers of land with an elevation of 69 meters above sea level in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Netherlands annexed Selfkant after World War II in 1949, issuing Dutch passports to residents until its return to German governance in 1963.
The municipality participates in the Cittaslow movement, promoting local traditions, craft preservation, and community-focused social gatherings throughout the region.
The municipality maintains a population of 10,626 residents as of 2023, attracting Dutch citizens and American families connected to the NATO Air Base.
This westernmost point of Germany resulted from the merger of seven municipalities including Havert, Hillensberg, Höngen, Millen, Süsterseel, Tüddern, and Wehr.
