contents We prove the normal subgroup property for every group that acts properly and cocompactly on a two-dimensional Euclidean building: every normal subgroup has finite index or is contained in the finite kernel of the action. As a consequence, the non-residually finite lattices constructed by Titz Mite and the second author are virtually simple. They are the first known simple lattices on irreducible Euclidean buildings.
