history

During construction work on the motorway (A3) in 1961, grave goods (cups and daggers) from the end of the Neolithic and remains of a settlement from the Hallstatt period (800 to 450 BC) were discovered on the Colettenberg on the Wittenhorst near Haldern .

middle Ages

Remains of a Franconian homestead from the 7th / 8th centuries testify to the time of the Middle Ages. Century. Aspel Castle was first mentioned around 1000 AD . The first lords of the castle of Aspel were the noble free Richizo and his son and successor Godizo . According to tradition, the Haldern Church was founded together with the Reeser Stiftskirche around 1040 by Godizo's heir Irmgard von Aspel , but there are no documented sources or archaeological evidence for this. Irmgard bequeathed her property to the Archdiocese of Cologne .

The monastery Schledenhorst was founded in 1240 by a knight Bernard Rees. In 1243 the Archbishop of Cologne took the nunnery under his protection. In 1249 the monastery was accepted into the Cistercian order and placed under the spiritual care of the abbot of the Kamp monastery.

In the course of the dispute over Aspel between Kleve and Cologne, Haldern appeared as a city around 1300 (seal of the city of Haldern from 1307). In 1392 Haldern fell to Kleve.

In 1614 and finally in 1666, Kleve and with it Haldern fell to the Electorate of Brandenburg . During the Thirty Years War , Haldern was sacked by marauding soldiers in 1631 and by imperial troops in 1638.

In 1672, during the Franco-Dutch War , the Catholic parish church of St. George went up in flames. In 1707 the Lords of Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld added Haldern to their glory Sonsfeld. In 1783 the Protestant church in Haldern was completed as a patronage church.

In 1805 Haldern came to the Grand Duchy of Berg , from 1810 to 1814 it belonged to France. In 1806 the nearby Schledenhorst monastery was dissolved. Haldern became a municipality in the Bergisch era and a Mairie under French rule . In 1814 Haldern came back to the Prussian Grand Duchy of Lower Rhine and became a mayor in the Rees district .

into my happy heart;
I always want to listen,

May your coat of arms, valiant horsemen, be protection and shield for you;
Always bloom, never go away,
Lindendorf on the Lower Rhine.
