history
Leuth was on the river border of the Roman Empire near the Nijmegen and cattle camps . The Franconian village (Lotde) was mentioned for the first time in 891/92 in a donation to Lorsch Abbey with several neighboring villages. It later belonged to the splendor of Spaldrop in today's Kekerdom , which from 1247 was subordinate to the Count, later Duke of Gelderland . In 1445 he leased it to the Duke of Cleves . In 1609 and 1701 it came with the Duchy of Brandenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia as an exclave with the neighboring town of Kekerdom. The Congress of Vienna awarded it to the Netherlands, which was implemented in 1817 in exchange for Schenkenschanz . It was badly damaged in the Second World War, including the St. Remigius Church, which was only built in 1934/35 (rebuilt after 1945 and desecrated in 2017). Initially the village belonged to the municipality of Beek , which came to Ubbergen in 1818 . The municipality Berg en Dal was created through merger and renaming in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
