Übach-Palenberg

Übach-Palenberg is an urban municipality in Heinsberg district that stretches along the Wurm River, connecting residential areas with farmland. The territory lies close to the Dutch border and blends rural character with urban functions.

The area was first recorded in 867 under the name Palenberg, while Übach appeared in documents later in 1172. Both settlements merged in 1967 to form the present-day municipality with town status.

The town maintains active partnerships with neighboring communities across the border, which show in regular gatherings and exchange programs between residents. These connections shape daily life and demonstrate how relationships with nearby regions influence local identity.

The town administration is located at Rathausplatz 4 and serves as the main point of contact for visitors seeking information about local services. Good infrastructure makes it easy to navigate the area.

Zweibrüggen Castle stands amid green meadows near the Wurm River, surrounded by old oaks and lindens that have grown there for centuries. The structure with its whitewashed walls offers a quiet contrast to the bustle of modern settlements.
