Heerlen

Netherlands / Zuid-Holland / Heerlen /
 municipality, second-level administrative division, draw only border
this city is formed in the roman century on a crossing of roman roads with a thermen(bathhouse)
this region was the motor for the rebuild of the netherlands after ww2 because there where allot of colemines in the region and gave work to allot of people.
after the mines closed the region was going backwards til today
mines where demolished and monumental buildings where destroyed
so now it is not realy a atractive city to visit/party
because of that young people leaving to the north and allot old-people left.
this city lays directly in the contact zone of the german naturpark eifel en the belgium park ardennen sadly not much is left of it .
