Urbanism

Benzenrade is a linear village. While it is not part of the town centre of Heerlen, it is still considered part of the agglomeration. The area around Benzenrade, including Saint Joseph Hospital, was built up in the 1960s. Even though it is the site of a major regional hospital, Benzenrade retains its original village character. A spring at a nearby farm is the source of the Geleenbeek, which joins the Meuse River after passing through Nuth, Schinnen, Sittard and Susteren.

gollark: There's no reason it should be this slow.
