Erkelenz is a historic town located in the district of Heinsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the town received its city rights in 1326 and has maintained much of its traditional character despite modern developments.

The town center features notable architectural landmarks including the historic Old Town Hall (Alte Rathaus) and the brick Gothic parish church of St. Lambertus, which stands as a testament to the town's rich cultural heritage. In recent decades, Erkelenz has faced significant changes due to lignite mining in the nearby Garzweiler surface mine, which has led to the relocation of some historic villages in the surrounding area.

The town serves as a regional cultural center, hosting various cultural events and maintaining venues that preserve and showcase local history and traditions.
