history

The place arose from a Vorwerk of the Johanniterkommende Muhde , who ran a dairy in Halt . The place is first mentioned in a document in 1439 as vorwerke tho Halteren . The name Haltt has come down to us from a map from 1589 . After the Reformation , the property of the Johanniter passed into private hands. Halt thus became a noble estate with the associated rights. There was a brick factory in Halt. Around 1800 the place also served as a stacking place for ships coming from the sea. In the 19th century, a shipyard and a sawmill determined economic life. At the time of the French occupation of East Frisia, Halt was a customs post.
