Düren

The city of Düren is known as the paper city, as the production of paper played an important role in the development of the city as early as the 16th century. The paper museum tells the story of paper production in Düren. Today it is an attractive shopping town with interesting stores in the city center. The gateway to the northern Eifel, as Düren is often called because of its location on the northern edge of the Eifel, also has some historic buildings that can be visited and discovered. Very interesting are the remains of the city wall, whose construction was started in the 12th century, as well as Burgau Castle, a moated castle that dates back to the 14th century.
