Hückelhoven is a town in the district of Heinsberg, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is situated on the river Rur, approx. 10 km east of Heinsberg, 20 km south-west of Mönchengladbach and approximately 15 km from the border with the Netherlands. Hückelhoven owes its development from village to town to the coal mining industry; the Sophia-Jacoba colliery was opened in 1914. This colliery (the last in the Aachen coalfield) was closed in 1997.
