현 건물은 대부분 17세기와 18세기에 지어졌습니다. 그것은 부서진 돌(Bruchstein)과 벽돌을 조합하여 지어진 특징적인 맨사드 지붕을 가진 2층 건물입니다. 파사드에는 청석(Blaustein)으로 된 문과 창문 테두리가 있습니다. 안뜰 쪽 파사드에는 눈 모양의 창문(oculus)이 있는 돌출부(박공)가 있습니다. 이 건물은 1985년 4월 12일부터 헤르초겐라트의 기념물 목록(monument number 000019 - 01)에 공식적으로 등록되었습니다.

St. Mariä Himmelfahrt의 이전 가톨릭 목사관(현지에서는 Altes Pastorat로 알려짐)은 Herzogenrath의 Eygelshovener Straße 17에 위치해 있습니다. 이 건물은 이 도시에서 가장 오래되고 역사적으로 깊이가 있는 건물 중 하나입니다. 이 건물은 Herzogenrath의 중세 도시 방어 시설의 기초 위에 부분적으로 세워졌으며, 특히 오래된 Eygelshoven 문(도시 문)과 성벽 근처에 있습니다. 인근 Rolduc 수도원(Klosterrath)의 수도원장 Johannes Wormbs가 1564년에 교구를 설립했을 때, 사제를 위한 숙소가 필요했습니다. 기존 문 구조물에 통합하기로 결정되었습니다.

이 도로는 최근 몇 년간 대규모 재건축 프로젝트를 진행해 왔습니다. 노후된 철도 하부 통로와 Wurm 위 다리에 대한 대대적인 공사가 진행 중입니다.

The Noppenberg spoil heap near Alsdorf is not a natural hill, but rather a result of coal mining. The deposited material comes from a great depth and forms a striking viewpoint in the Aachen coalfield. From the top, the view extends over the area surrounding Herzogenrath and Alsdorf and into the open landscape of the region.

The Wurm River, largely in its natural state, exhibits an impressive flow dynamic that is unparalleled nationwide. Driven by the force of the flowing water, the river's course is constantly changing, creating new channels, gravel bars, eroding banks, abandoned riverbeds, and new floodplain forests. The abundance of food in the Wurm's gravel and sand deposits makes the river particularly attractive to certain, sometimes rare, bird species. For example, the rare kingfisher finds ideal nesting opportunities in the eroded banks of the Wurm. Beavers have also returned to the Wurm in recent years.

It is always open and equipped with a good information board!

This bench overlooking the Wurmtal valley offers a peaceful moment of stillness above the landscape. From here, the valley slowly opens up, with the Wurm River winding like a narrow line through the greenery and the slopes gently merging into one another. The view changes with the seasons: fresh and open in spring, deep green in summer, and warmly hued as autumn colors the valley. The bench invites you to sit for a moment, absorbing the landscape and letting the silence sink in, while the valley below follows its own pace. It's one of those places where walking pauses for a moment and transforms into looking, listening, and simply being present.

The Old Rectory in Aachen is a historic building that forms an important part of the city's religious and cultural heritage. Traditionally, the rectory served as the home and workplace of the local priest, and the building often reflects the architectural style of the period in which it was built, with characteristic facades, classical windows, and sometimes small gardens or courtyards. The building is usually located near a church, making it a focal point for the community's religious and social life. Over the years, the Old Rectory has served various purposes, from a rectory residence to cultural and administrative use, while preserving its historic character as much as possible.
