history

Holtwick is mentioned in a document as Holtwick juxta Holtwich juxta Halteren as one of the many possessions of the monastery in Werden around 1200 AD. For many centuries, Holtwick was just a peasantry , which over time also included the sub-farming communities Bergbossendorf (previously to Bossendorf ), Berghalter, Lünzum and Hennewig.

Because of its natural location, the painter Hermann Moog settled in Holtwick in 1934 and later built a studio and house.

The place belonged to the municipality of Kirchspiel Haltern until it was incorporated into Haltern on January 1, 1975.
