Emmelsum is one of the younger districts of the city of Voerde (Lower Rhine) in the Wesel district , North Rhine-Westphalia , and has around 300 inhabitants.

history

The peasantry Emmelsum was never independently. The place belonged to the municipality Spellen until 1922 . Since 1815/16 Spellen was part of the Götterswickerhamm mayor's office in the Dinslaken district , as were the communities of Voerde (Lower Rhine) , Mehrum , Görsicker , Möllen and Löhnen . The name of the mayor's office was changed to the mayor's office in Voerde in 1911 . Spellen was incorporated into Voerde together with Möllen in 1922. The Voerde mayor's office became the Voerde office in 1928. In 1950 the new municipality of Voerde was created through the union of the municipalities of Löhnen and Voerde. On January 1, 1975, part of Emmelsum north of the Wesel-Datteln Canal was incorporated into the city of Wesel as part of the second reorganization program .
