Twinned with Faches Thumesnil since 7 October 1989, Stolberg is near the Belgian border just 260km from Faches Thumesnil.

It is very easy to get to, by using the Belgian motorways.

The castle, built in the 12th century, is the landmark of the town.

A great industrial development started in the 13th century, because of the ore ressources and the hydraulic energy of the river Vicht.

The production of copper has become an important part of the industrial activity.

Ferdinand Gatzweiler is the mayor of this town of 60,000 inhabitants located in Rhemland Pfalz in the district of Aachen.

Stolberg also has a partnership with Volognes (department of Manche, France)
