Bij opgravingen tijdens de jaren 1930 zijn er graven uit de 6e en 7e eeuw gevonden. Ook scherven die opgegraven zijn op de markt bevestigen bewoning vanaf de <a href="/wiki/Vroege_middeleeuwen" title="Vroege middeleeuwen">vroege middeleeuwen</a>. De plaats wordt in het jaar 1170 voor het eerst genoemd in een document van de <a href="/wiki/Aartsbisdom_Keulen" title="Aartsbisdom Keulen">Keulse aartsbisschop</a> <a href="/wiki/Filips_I_van_Heinsberg" title="Filips I van Heinsberg">Filips I van Heinsberg</a>.

In 1472 kwam de heerlijkheid bij het <a href="/wiki/Hertogdom_Gulik" title="Hertogdom Gulik">Hertogdom Gulik</a> en deze situatie heeft ruim 300 jaar geduurd. De Fransen onder <a href="/wiki/Napoleon_Bonaparte" title="Napoleon Bonaparte">Napoleon Bonaparte</a> veroverde de stad en lieten een stenen brug over de Worm bouwen. In 1815 kwam de stad bij <a href="/wiki/Pruisen" title="Pruisen">Pruisen</a>. Een eeuw later, na afloop van de <a href="/wiki/Eerste_Wereldoorlog" title="Eerste Wereldoorlog">Eerste Wereldoorlog</a>, werd de stad door Franse, Marokkaanse en Belgische troepen bezet. De laatste Belgen vertrokken in 1929. In de <a href="/wiki/Tweede_Wereldoorlog" title="Tweede Wereldoorlog">Tweede Wereldoorlog</a> was de stad onderdeel van de <a href="/wiki/Westwall" title="Westwall">Westwall</a>. In november 1944 naderde het front de stad en op 8 november bombarderen de geallieerden de stad met <a href="/wiki/Napalm" title="Napalm">napalm</a>. Elf dagen later wordt de stad veroverd door de Britten en Amerikanen. Waterburcht werd in 1945 verwoest en daarna zijn overblijfselen geïntegreerd in het schoolgebouw van het bisschoppelijk gymnasium <i>St. Ursula</i>. Na deze oorlog behoorde de stad tot de <a href="/wiki/Britse_bezettingszone_in_Duitsland" title="Britse bezettingszone in Duitsland">Britse bezettingszone</a> en in 1955 werd deze bezetting beëindigd.
