geography
Neulouisendorf located in the southwest of the urban area of calcar on the from the Saale-glacial derived Niederrheinische ridge .
history
Neulouisendorf was established in 1827, initially with 150 settlement farms, on the orders of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. as a branch settlement for migrants from the Electoral Palatinate . Because of their Protestant faith, they had left their home in the Hunsrück or the Nahe in 1741 to emigrate to Pennsylvania ( USA ). Because they could not prove any paid ship passage at the Dutch border, they got stuck in the border area. The settlement areas between Goch , Kleve and Kalkar - first Pfalzdorf , then Louisendorf and finally Neulouisendorf - still form the aforementioned Palatinate language island today.
On July 1, 1969, Neulouisendorf was incorporated into Kalkar.
