Zülpich is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany between Aachen and Bonn. It belongs to the district Euskirchen.
The town is commonly agreed to be the site with the Latin name of Tolbiacum, famous for the Battle of Tolbiac, fought between the Franks under Clovis I and the Alamanni; the traditional date is 496, corrected in many modern accounts to 506. The battle is commemorated in the names of the Rue Tolbiac and the Tolbiac metro station in Paris.
