The "Peter-Zirbes-Kulturkreis", named after the famous Eifel poet and travelling trader from Niederkail, was founded in 1981 to enrich the cultural work in the association's community.

The 1250 years old city of Düren can proudly look back on its industrial past, with many enterprises still working worldwide until today. The proverbial wealth of Düren’s entrepreneurial families Schoeller, Hoesch and others in the former “city of millionaires” established a rich patronage tradition with numerous cultural, social and educational institutions, which is portrayed by the exhibition “Düren’s Golden Years, 1871-1914”.

A large selection of media awaits you. Whether it's crime novels, thrillers, novels, non-fiction, audio books or magazines: there's something to suit every taste. We have redesigned the corner for our young readers and have a great selection of books for children and young people, Tonies and Tiptois.

The village museum in the centre of Dierscheid is located in a former cartwright's workshop from the 19th century.

The museum of Speicher offers an insight into the everyday life of our ancestors. The museum’s highlights include the exhibition entitled “Necessity is the Mother of Invention”, which shows how the people of the Eifel converted war materials into everyday objects.
