Baesweiler, Medium-sized district town in Aachen region, Germany

Located 20 kilometers northeast of Aachen, Baesweiler spans across 27.82 square kilometers with an elevation of 130 meters above sea level.

The Battle of Baesweiler in 1371 marked a significant defeat for Duke Wenceslaus I of Brabant against the forces of Gulik and Gelre.

The transformation of an old castle into a cultural center houses a public library, cinema, and bistro-café for community gatherings.

The town features seven distinct subdivisions: Baesweiler, Beggendorf, Floverich, Loverich, Oidtweiler, Puffendorf, and Setterich, established through local reforms in 1972.

The CarlAlexanderPark includes a suspended footbridge leading to the HimmelsStiege, a 270-step staircase ascending to the summit of a former slag heap.
