The Rurstrasse in Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia , is an urban street .

Rurstraße begins opposite Annakirmesplatz in Aachener Straße , crosses Tivolistraße , crosses under the Cologne-Aachen railway line and ends in Düren-Nord at the confluence with Paradiesstraße .

The listed residential building Rurstrasse 85 is located in Rurstrasse. It is entered under No. 1/139 in the list of architectural monuments in Düren . The pensioner's apartments in Rurstrasse 37-39 were built in 1959/60 with funds from a foundation. It goes back to the married couple Arnold and Adele Schoeller, to whose memory the plaque attached to this house is intended (see plaques and monuments on houses in Düren # Rurstraße 37-39 ).

As can be seen in the map drawn by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1634, the Rur had several tributaries. One of them ran where today's Rurstrasse runs. From April 6, 1933 to 1945, the street was called Horst-Wessel-Straße , named after Horst Wessel , an SA storm leader who wrote the Horst Wessel song , the party anthem of the NSDAP.

At the corner of Tivolistraße stood the “Kleintivoli” estate, after which Tivolistraße is named.
