Ubach-Palenberg

Among the towns of North Rhine-Westphalia, Ubach-Palenberg stands out for its location on the Wurm River beside the Dutch border. Part of the Aachen district, it belongs to a densely settled former coal-mining area where Germany and the Netherlands meet. The Carolus Magnus colliery in Palenberg shaped local life for decades before its closure in 1962, and mining remains an important part of the town’s identity. Today, the Wurm valley and nearby cross-border routes connect its residential neighbourhoods with the wider regional landscape.
