Hurth

The landscape around Hürth is a mix of the wooded Ville ridge and land reshaped by lignite extraction, which has influenced both its settlement pattern and local economy. Immediately southwest of Cologne in the Rhein-Erft district, Hürth grew from several formerly separate communities, including Alt-Hürth, Efferen and Hermülheim. Otto-Maigler See, a reclaimed former open-cast mine, belongs to a network of lakes and woodland in the Ville. Industry remains present at Chemiepark Knapsack, while the Coloneum studio complex connects the town with German television and film production.
