Ubbergen (Dutch pronunciation: [ʏˈbɛrɣə(n)]) is a small village in the eastern part of the Netherlands. It's located in a province called Gelderland. For a long time, Ubbergen was its own municipality, which is like a local government area. But on January 1, 2015, it joined with a larger area. This new, bigger municipality was first called Groesbeek, and then later changed its name to Berg en Dal on January 1, 2016. So, now Ubbergen is part of Berg en Dal.
