Rumburk (Czech pronunciation: [ˈrumburk]; German: Rumburg) is a town in the Ústí nad Labem Region in the north of the Czech Republic. It has about 11,000 inhabitants and is famous because of its reportedly beautiful historical inner cities with many historical sights such as the old monastery. The first written document mentioning this Rumburk comes from 1298.
The town has a border crossing with the German town of Seifhennersdorf.
Following a number of years of depression after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the region is now poised to become an industrial center again. Rumburk receives an economic boost due to the automotive producers in its borders.
