The first mention of it as an urban settlement dates back to the 12th century. This is also the time when construction of the town's fortifications began, which were extended and secured until the early 18th century. Remains of this ring of walls and towers have been preserved to this day as architectural witnesses of past centuries.

The main building of Burgau Castle has an eventful past. Having been originally built at the start of the 14th century by the Counts von Heinsberg and assigned to the fiefdom of Wilhelm von Burgau, the picturesque moated castle has since had quite a makeover.

The Düren Originals was the name given to people whose presence had a major impact on everyday life in the town.

The Town Hall designed by architect Denis Boniver has stood as a symbol of the high point of reconstruction after the Second World War since it was completed in 1959. The elevated platform with outside steps and the glazed bay window by the old main entrance are typical features of buildings constructed in the 1950s.
