City

Eupen

Western Europe

Eupen is a city and municipality in the Belgian province of Liège, about fifteen kilometres from the German border at Aachen, and it is the capital of the German-speaking Community of Belgium and of the Euroregion Meuse-Rhine. It was first mentioned in 1213 as part of the Duchy of Limburg, then passed to Brabant, Burgundy, the Holy Roman Empire and France before being given to Prussia in 1815. The Treaty of Versailles transferred Eupen and nearby Malmedy from Germany to Belgium in 1919. German remains the official language, and the city has a small university college and a football club that reached the Belgian top flight in 2010.
