Kornelimünster/Walheim is the southern-most district of Aachen, Germany, and borders the Eifel area of North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as Belgium. It became part of Aachen in 1972, after all of the communities surrounding the city were reorganized administratively.[1] The countryside is called Münsterländchen.
