The Heëlesje Sjluëteluëverdrach back to the Town Hall
Saturday, February 14, 2026, is the big day: after years in the theater, the traditional key handover will once again take place in the hall of Heerlen Town Hall. An intimate setting, a seated program, and of course the big question: can Mayor Roel Wever hand over the city key to City Prince Quinten Roel Wever confidence? Order your Maps in time.
