history

So far there is no evidence of a settlement of the Achterathsheide before the Middle Ages. Broken bricks and ceramic shards were found in 1979 at one point only south-east of the local area near the Hörnemannshof, but these were not examined in detail and possibly date from Roman times.

In keeping with the name “Heide”, farms could only be built in a few places in the local area due to the quality of the soil and the area is currently only sparsely populated. However, a farm is already documented after 1125 as the chargeable hooves of the Kamp monastery . An independent peasantry was only able to form very late because of the low population. In a study from 1836, neither a hamlet nor a peasantry was cited for today's local area that apparently belonged to the municipality of Kapellen . In 1901 a small village that belonged to Kapellen and had only 74 inhabitants was listed under Achterathsheide in an address book.

An indication of the generally unfavorable conditions for agriculture at the beginning of the 20th century is the "Achterathsheidegraben-Genossenschaft", which was founded on November 12, 1911 by order of the Prussian government. This should improve the amelioration of the areas of the cooperative, including the water conditions. The districts of Kapellen, Neukirchen and Moers-Hülsdonk belonged to the cooperative.

Achterathsheide is also currently an agriculturally structured area and with only 304 inhabitants as of December 31, 2014, making it one of the sparsely populated residential areas in Moers.
