Doenrade is a village in the southern Dutch province of Limburg. Historically, its name has also been spelled Dudenrode and Doenradt and was along a main trade route between Germany and southern Limburg.{{cite web |url=http://www.schinnen.nl/over-schinnen/kernen_3697/item/doenrade-doonder_3230.html |title=History of Doenrade |author=Municipality of Schinnen |date=28 August 2014 |publisher=Municipality of Schinnen |accessdate=28 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150404160127/http://www.schinnen.nl/over-schinnen/kernen_3697/item/doenrade-doonder_3230.html |archive-date=4 April 2015 |url-status=dead }} Until 1982 it was a part of the municipality of Oirsbeek but was transferred to the municipality of Schinnen.
