Aachen is
renowned for its culture, scientific
research and equestrian sports.
Aachen cathedral was
the crown church of Karl the Great and the
first German bulding to be entered into
the UNESCO list of world heritage. The
'old town' is full of history and very
much 'alive' thanks to 40,000 students
from the city's five universities. The
most renowned of these is the RWTH
(Rheinisch Westfälische Technische
Hochschule) - the first choice for
engineering students in Germany. Global
firms have research laboratories at the
RWTH - from Philips and Ford to Ericsson
and Microsoft. The international
dressage, jumping and driving event, known
as CHIO, takes place annually in Aachen.
In 2006 Aachen will also host the
equestrian wold championships, the world's
biggest equestrian event, with competition
in seven official disciplines: jumping,
dressage, eventing, driving, endurance,
vaulting and reining.

Knoppenburg Manor had a
historical mention already in the 16th century
under its original name "Hop op der Heyde" which
means Court on the Heath. It has arisen from the
restructuring of the old and significant Manor
Belven from which it presumably split-off in the
16th century.
"Hop op der Heyde"
In 1612 Simon Bertholf
bequeathed the property to Guillaume de Fischer as
a gift. The family Fischer extended the building to
include two side wings and two towers. The owners
changed once more at the beginning of the 18th
century and the estate belonged to the family
Lamberts after 1717.
In the course of the Century
Pierre-Ignace-Joseph de la Saulx, President of the
District Court, Malmedy and later advisor at the
Cologne Higher Regional Court acquired the estate
through inheritance. The coats of arms of the
family de la Saulx decorate the weathercocks on the
towers of Knoppenburg Manor to this very
day.
The main building made its debut
in the classical style at the beginning of the 19th
century, as can be seen today. Through marriage and
inheritance, in the course of time the Manor became
the property of the family de Blanchart.
In 1936 Joseph-Henri Guillaume
van Laar purchased the estate. After the last
change of ownership in 1998, extensive restoration
and remedial work began.
Today, Kloppenburg Manor lies on
the historical "Castle Trail" &endash; a
fascinating route that links 20 palaces, castles
and stately homes along 79km of the Belgian
countryside
