Where to stay in Bergrath
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Bergrath is a residential quarter, so the centre of Eschweiler makes the better base. Buses tie the district to the Eschweiler Bushof, and the Eschweiler Hauptbahnhof is the nearest main station, which keeps the church of St. Antonius an easy detour from a room in town. Book centrally.
From there the rest of Nordrhein-Westfalen is closer to hand as well.

What is the history of Bergrath?
The Church of Cologne probably founded Bergrath around 830, together with Volkenrath and Hastenrath. Recorded as Berchingrode in 1250, it belonged with Röhe and Röthgen to the Amt Eschweiler no later than the sixteenth century. Roman finds followed.
A Roman farmhouse was dug out beside the spoil heaps of the Nothberg mine in the winter of 1904 into 1905, decades after a railway line had cut the village in two.
