Dürener Platt is a Ripuarian dialect , which is increasingly spoken in the urban area of Düren and also in parts of the Düren district . The distribution area is between Aachen ( Öcher Platt ) and Cologne ( Kölsch ) in the western Rhineland. It is interesting that the Dürener Platt differs more clearly from the Öcher Platt than from the Kölsch, although Düren is a little closer to Aachen than Cologne. The Dürener Platt language changes slightly as soon as you change town for a few kilometers.
