Lechenich, Administrative district in Erftstadt, Germany.

Located 20 kilometers southwest of Cologne, Lechenich extends across 29.83 square kilometers with an elevation of 99 meters above sea level.

The settlement origins trace back to Roman times, with archaeological findings revealing remains of a vicus settlement dated between the 2nd and 4th centuries.

The district maintains its historical center where the medieval castle and church demonstrate the architectural evolution from the 13th century forward.

The intersection of federal road B265 with regional roads L162 and L263 provides direct access to the A1 and A61 motorways through Erftstadt.

Archaeological excavations in 2010 uncovered a Neolithic settlement with burial grounds at the northern edge of present-day Lechenich.
