Wegberg, District town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Wegberg extends across 84 square kilometers of land between Mönchengladbach and Erkelenz, featuring numerous water mills along the River Schwalm.

The settlement received its first documented mention in 966 under Otto I as Berck, later evolving into Wegberg due to its position on a Roman road.

The Flachsmuseum presents agricultural exhibitions about flax cultivation, while the Museum für europäische Volkstrachten displays traditional European clothing collections.

The town maintains an extensive network of marked cycling and hiking trails that connect various districts through the valley of historic water mills.

The Grenzlandring, constructed in 1939, functioned as the fastest racing circuit globally until operations ceased following an incident in 1952.
