History On July 1, 1969, Kommern was incorporated into Veytal. Before this incorporation, Kommern was an independent municipality that took on its current form under the long-time municipal director Norbert Leduc (in office from 1953 to 1969): In 1958, Kommern was chosen as the site of the Rhenish Open-Air Museum. Since the 1960s, Kommern has been a climatic health resort. The Mühlensee lake also dates from this period. It dams the Bleibach stream in the form of a small reservoir. This allows the lead sludge that the stream brings from the lead mine where it originates to settle harmlessly. Previously, the stream flooded the meadows along its banks in the spring, which regularly caused livestock to become ill due to the lead content of the grass. On 1 January 1972, the municipality of Veytal (with the exception of the district of Schwerfen, which became part of the town of Zülpich) was incorporated into the municipality (now the town) of Mechernich.

Heimbach, with 4,500 inhabitants the second smallest town in North Rhine-Westphalia, is located in the Rureifel in the Eifel National Park. There is a lot to discover around the town of Heimbach. In 1959, Heimbach received city rights due to its historical past. Through the connection to the railway network and the construction of the Urfttalsperre in 1903 and 1904, Heimbach gradually became a center of tourism in the North Eifel.
