history
Hassum was first mentioned in a document in 1144. A chapel already existed around 1300. After the destruction in World War II , the Catholic Church , which originated in the 16th century, was not rebuilt. Instead, a hall church was built as an emergency church in 1948 , which was expanded in 1968 and a free-standing bell tower was added in 1978. It is under the patronage of St. Willibrordus .
In the nearby Klever Reichswald and in the vicinity of today's village of Hassum, the so-called battle in the Reichswald took place in February 1945 during the Second World War . After this battle, the Allies were able to build a bridgehead over the Rhine near Wesel and thus take the Ruhr area.
On July 1, 1969, the municipality Hassum was in the city Goch incorporated .
traffic
The state road 177 runs through the village. On the outskirts there is the federal motorway 57 , which runs as European route 31 from Rotterdam to Cologne .
In 1873 a railway line was opened, the Boxteler Bahn , which connected London with Berlin , but no longer exists today. The reception building of the former Hassum train station , built in 1908, is now used as a residential building.
