 Location of Kornelimünster / Walheim in Aachen
|
|
Kornelimünster / Walheim is one of the seven Aachen city districts . It is the southernmost district of the city of Aachen and lies on the border with Belgium and the Eifel . The landscape is called Münsterländchen .
history
The municipality of Kornelimünster / Walheim was created when, as part of the regional reform in North Rhine-Westphalia, seven surrounding municipalities were incorporated into Aachen in accordance with the Aachen Act on January 1, 1972 , including the previously independent municipalities of Kornelimünster and Walheim . While the Walheim community as a whole was incorporated into Aachen, parts of the Kornelimünster community, including the villages of Breinig and Venwegen , were incorporated into the city of Stolberg . Walheim and the parts of Kornelimünster incorporated into Aachen have since formed two of the districts of Aachen and were combined with the districts of Lichtenbusch and Sief , which had previously belonged to Aachen, to form the new Kornelimünster / Walheim district.
