history

Up until the beginning of the 19th century there was an extensive forest area northwest of Moers, which extended beyond Bornheim and Baerl and in which there had been smaller settlement islands since the early Middle Ages . The peasantry Bornheim is incurred in this wooded area on a clearing place. "Burnheym" or "Byrnheim" was first mentioned in 1341. Later it is written “Birnheim” (1463), “Barnhem” (1474) and “Borneim” (1784). Borne (derived from Brennen) are rather rare in the Lower Rhine area. The former hamlet of Rheinkamp belongs to Bornheim , which gave its name to the entire community and currently the district of Moers. In one of the oldest documents for the Counts of Moers from 1288, this hamlet was named "Rinkampe". In this document, Ritter Friedrich, a brother of Count Dietrich III./IV. von Moers, an estate in the area near Repelen to Count Adolf V. von Berg and received this as a fief.

The Bornheim farmers have been part of the Repelen parish since the Middle Ages . When in 1910 Repelen and Baerl merged to form the entire municipality of Repelen-Baerl, Bornheim also became part of this new municipality. On January 1, 1975, when the communities in North Rhine-Westphalia were reorganized , Rheinkamp, which had been the name of Repelen-Baerl since 1950, was dissolved. Bornheim was incorporated into Moers with Repelen and the associated historical farmers. Since then, Bornheim has been one of the residential areas in the Rheinkamp district of Moers.
