Burg Rode is a castle in the centre of the town of Herzogenrath in the Aachen district, Germany. It is only a few hundred meters from the border with the Dutch municipality of Kerkrade.
Herzogenrath is first mentioned in the records in the annals of Rolduc Monastery in 1104 as a castle of the Counts of Saffenberg as "Castrensis Viculus". The castle is a border fortress and toll castle in one. Due to the marriage of Mathilda of Saffenberg in 1136, it came to the house of the Dukes of Limburg as a dowry. The Wormoever is then not only the national border but also the diocesan border. For example, in 1136 the castle was in the diocese of Liège, while the lower town was in the archdiocese of Cologne. Herzogenrath is located at an important medieval junction of two trade routes. The first runs from Cologne through Herzogenrath and then continues along the old Roman road from Valkenburg, Maastricht, Tongeren to Boulogne-sur-Mer. The second leads from Trier via Aachen and Herzogenrath to Xanten.
