history
Already in the period from 1200 to 800 BC Budberg was settled. This is shown by the first grave finds dated to this time. The first documentary mention, however, is only for May 19, 1003. It mentions a royal court in the village. Two hundred years later, for the period from 1225 to 1227, the Wolfskuhlen and Husenhof manors can be found in Budberg .
Up to the end of the 18th century Budberg (Niederbudberg) was two-manorial , it belonged to both the Protestant Principality of Moers and the Catholic Electorate of Cologne . The patronage and customs shelves belonged to the Prince of Moers ( Prussia ), the right to tithe to the Elector of Cologne alone, and the rule was undivided. Both sovereigns appointed a mayor , a clerk and two lay judges. The appellation alternated between the Prussian government in Kleve and Moers and the Kurkölnischer Hofrat in Bonn .
Together with Orsoy and Borth , Budberg was incorporated into the city of Rheinberg on January 1, 1975. On the occasion of the millennium, a week of festivities was celebrated in Rheinberg-Budberg from April 30th to May 4th, 2003.
