Burtscheid

Burtscheid (Latin: Porcetum) is a district of the city of Aachen, part of the Aachen-Mitte Stadtbezirk.

It was inhabited since ancient times by Celts and Romans, who were attracted by the presence of hot springs.

From 1816 Burtscheid was the administrative capital of the district of Aachen.

[1] During World War II, the German Nazis established and operated a forced labour camp in the district.
