Schleiden, Administrative town in Euskirchen district, Germany.

Located in the Eifel hills at 370 meters elevation, Schleiden encompasses 18 settlements including the central town and Gemünd district.

The territory evolved from a medieval lordship to part of Luxembourg Duchy, later joining the French Republic before incorporation into Prussia in 1815.

The Johannes-Sturmius and Clara-Fey high schools maintain educational excellence, serving more students during school hours than the town's permanent population.

The tourist railway connects Schleiden to Kall, providing transportation links to the main Eifel railway line between Cologne and Trier.

The Urft Reservoir, constructed from 1900 to 1905, stands as a significant water management structure near the town center.
