About Welkenraedt
Historically a part of the Dutch of Limburg, Welkenraedt became a part of the Department of the Ourthe underNapoleon. After his defeat, the town was split between the Dutch and Prussians, with the modern-day town of Herbesthal being ceded to Prussia. After Belgian independence (1830), the town counted just over 400 Flemish-speaking citizens, and a large amount of Luxembourgish migrant workers that moved in around the time of harvest. In 1843, the railway betweenLiègeandAachenwas put into service, on which Welkenraedt functioned as a border post, which brought industrial and demographic influxes to the town. After the end of the First World War and Treaty of Versailles, the Prussian region of Eupen-Malmedy was ceded to Belgium as a compensation for war damages, ending Welkenraedt's function
