Brauweiler is a part of Pulheim, west of Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.

The former Benedictine abbey, Brauweiler Abbey, founded 1024, is used today by the Rhein Department for the Care of Historic Monuments.

In Brauweiler in the 1920s a large powertransmissionstation,n up to 380kV-substation, which is also starting point of the north south powerline, was built. In the area of this transformer station is also the main control room of the RWE, over which nearly the entire high-voltage transmission system of the RWE AG is supervised by remote control. This control is also used to coordinate the powertransmission in continental europe.
