Reichswalde is a village on the Lower Rhine with around 2400 inhabitants and is now a district of Kleve , south of the Materborn district . It is a planned settlement, as can still be seen today.
In the village there is a village café, a kindergarten, an integrative Montessori children's house, a two-tier Catholic elementary school, a sports facility with a barbecue hut, a few horticultural businesses (including an orchid and anthurium nursery ), a farm shop with a milk filling station, a game reserve , a tree gallery. The Catholic parish church was closed in 2018 due to structural problems with the roof structure and is to be demolished. This was initially prevented by the inclusion of the building in the temporary monument protection. At the beginning of the instructive tree gallery (with the trees of the year ) there is a misconceived and largely uninhabited wild bee hotel .
The active clubs in Reichswalde include the fire fighting group of the volunteer fire brigade , the homeland club , the football club , the shooting club , the Hubertusbruderschaft, the forest youth , the tennis club and the charcoal burner.
A Meilerfest is held in uneven years.
history
The area around Reichswalde was part of the Reichswald until after the Second World War . Between 1948 and 1950, parts of the forest were cleared, mainly in order to settle displaced people in new villages. The settler positions were assigned to refugees and locals according to fixed rules in a two-to-one ratio . The Catholic refugees were mainly assigned settler positions in Reichswalde, the Protestant settlers in the sister settlement of Nierswalde (today in Goch). Reichswalde had 39 full-time jobs, of which 14 were “two-in-hand” with 15 hectares, seven “single” with 7.5 hectares and 18 “gardeners” with 3.75 hectares. There were also 43 part-time jobs with 1–1.5 hectares each. After 1951, more small settlements with 800-1,000 square meters of garden space were built.
In 1956 the Catholic Herz-Jesu-Kirche was built, which became an independent parish in 1980, but lost its independence again in 2004. In 1960 Reichswalde had a good 1000 inhabitants. On July 1, 1969, Reichswalde was incorporated into Kleve . Only the former Rodenwalde was slammed into Bedburg-Hau .
The new development area created in 2005 is popular with families.
