history

The name Schottheide appears for the first time in 1414 as "Schoetscheheye". However, the area was uninhabited until the 18th century and served as the community heath of Frasselt . In 1783 the heath was parceled out as part of the Prussian colonization and gradually settled.

In the nearby Reichswald and in the vicinity of today's town, the so-called battle in the Reichswald raged in the spring of 1945 . In this battle for the Lower Rhine, the place was badly affected.

Until the 20th century, Schottheide remained strongly related to the town of Frasselt , to which it also belonged to the parish. It was only after the Second World War that Schottheide gained a closed appearance due to a large influx. The elementary school established in 1953 was closed again in 1968. Since 1975 she is a community center used.

societies

Clubs with a large number of members, such as the Bürgererschützenverein, the carrier pigeon club “Über Wald und Heide” and the sports club “SV Schottheide-Frasselt 1860/30” offer many recreational opportunities.
