Closure of De Overkant restaurant in Heerlen

Mayor Roel Wever decided to close the De Overkant restaurant in Heerlen for six months.

The reason for this decision is a shooting incident that took place during the night of Saturday, January 24, to Sunday, January 25, 2026, at the catering establishment. The closure is taking place because the catering sanctions policy of the municipality of Heerlen is aimed at protecting public order and safety.

The closure will take effect on January 30, 2026, and will last for six months. During this time, the facility will be closed to the public.
