description
Maspelt lies above the Ourtal at an altitude of over 500 m . Mentioned for the first time in 1495 and belonged to the Thommen farm. The tithe was due to Herr von Reuland. A chapel built in 1736 was replaced in 1930 by a new church building with an octagonal tower by the regional architect Henri Cunibert . The high altar from the 18th century was taken over.
Maspelt was incorporated into the municipality of Burg-Reuland when the municipalities were merged in 1977 , as part of the former municipality of Thommen .
Maspelt was the location of the film Winterspelt 1944 by director Eberhard Fechner based on the novel by Alfred Andersch in 1977 . The film with Claus Theo Gärtner and Olli Maier was shot for the most part in East Belgium, because in the 1970s many places there were still in a wartime state.
