そして、なぜそこで休憩して食事をしないのですか…

The Commanderie is a textbook example of the Maasland Renaissance style, recognizable by: brick construction combined with Namur stone; straight, symmetrical volumes; decorative tiers of brick; a closed, almost monastic courtyard.

Commanderie Castle is one of the most historically significant buildings in the region. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages: as early as the 13th century, a settlement of the Teutonic Knights existed here, from which the name "Commanderie" is derived. The castle was not only a stately residence but also an administrative and economic center for the surrounding lands. The complex is surrounded by a moat and has been rebuilt and expanded several times over the centuries. A characteristic feature is the combination of medieval foundations with later Renaissance and Baroque elements. Particularly striking are the picturesque courtyard, the historic farm buildings, and the castle grounds surrounded by avenues and meadows. After the end of the Order's rule, the property passed into private hands and was used for agricultural purposes for a time. Today, Commanderie Castle is privately owned but parts of it are used for cultural and tourist activities. The castle represents the eventful history of the border region between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany and reflects the influence of religious orders of knights on the cultural landscape of this region.

Nice pond and nice for a break.

The Diepenbenden dam is a body of still water in Aachen-Steinebrück and consists of an upper and a lower basin. The upper basin is fed by the Wurm's "Luttitz" and "Wolfschlucht" source streams, and the lower basin is fed by the main Wurm spring, which rises below the Düsbergkopf. The volume of both systems is around 91,000 m³ and the depth is 8 m.[1] In 2010, the basin was completely renovated.[2] The dam was built around 1930, at the same time as the Kupferbach reservoir. Beavers have been resident there since 2020.[3] There has been a restaurant on the northern shore of the lake since ancient times. Since the 1960s, the "Aachener Modellboot-Club 1960 e. V." a right of use for the Diepenbenden dam. Almost every Sunday, the members of the association meet and launch their model boats, although no model ships with combustion engines or racing boats are permitted.

Very nice place that invites you to take a little rest.

In the very south of the Aachen Forest, Gut Entenpfuhl offers a place to stop. The visit can be easily combined with tours to the Steineknipp, the highest elevation in the Aachen Forest. Two of the GrenzRouten hiking trails (numbers 1 and 5) also lead along here.
