Freund is a small town in the eastern Aachen district of Brand on the L 220. It belongs to the parish of St. Donatus . On January 1, 1972, Freund and Brand were reclassified from what was then the Aachen district to the city of Aachen. The term 'friend' is derived from Vröng , an old term for benefice , goods and lands of spiritual lords, who drew their livelihood from it.

Brand is seamlessly connected to the west of Freund, and the Stolberg district of Büsbach is to the east of Freund . In the north is the Brander Forest , which mostly serves as a training area for the Aachen barracks. In the south lies the Krauthausen district, which is also part of the Brand district . The Inde runs in a semicircular arc east of Freund and Brander Wald .
