The former dairy building in March 2010

The Düren dairy was a milk processing cooperative in the district town of Düren in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Originally the milk from the Düren district was processed in the Schwecht family's dairy from Vettweiß . The cooperative operating there founded Düren milk processing around 1900, with its headquarters in Mariaweiler . In 1942 the company was relocated to Düren on Mariaweilerstraße . In 1944, the building housed a platoon command post for the 104th Infantry Division of the American Forces . After the Second World War , the company was continuously modernized and enlarged. In 1958, 22 million liters of milk were processed. By 1970 the amount increased to 37 million liters. In 1959, the catchment area of ​​the dissolved Vettweiß dairy was added. In 1967 the catchment area expanded to include the areas of the former Kall , Simmerath and Imgenbroich dairies. On January 1, 1969, the Düren dairy lost its independence and, after merging, became part of the Aachen-Düren-Nordeifel eGmbH. The seat and management were in Aachen. As a result of the rationalization resulting from the merger, the Düren facility was able to increase the volume of milk processed to 37 million liters by 1970. On March 1, 1972, the Rhineland milk supply in Cologne and the Aachen-Düren-Nordeifel eGmbH merged. The Düren dairy was closed.

In part of the former dairy building there are rehearsal rooms for 30 Düren music groups. In 2013/2014, an entrepreneur from Düren built an industrial park on the site of the old dairy. There are currently (2014) 14 tenants from the commercial and service sectors located there. The official inauguration took place on May 24, 2014. In the second section, event, conference and training rooms were created.
