The founding of Vynens goes back to the foundation of the common church of St. Martin of the farmers "Vinen" (from this the later place name Vynen developed), Broechem (later Marienbaum ) and Gesthuysen, which took place as early as the 11th century . However, there are records showing that the region of today's Vynens was already settled in Roman times and that there were trade relations with Colonia Ulpia Traiana .
Vynen belonged to the Duchy of Kleve for about 600 years , then for a short time to the Prussian administrative district of Kleve and, from 1821, to the administrative district of Düsseldorf . There, the municipality of Vynen in the former districts of Rheinberg , Geldern and Moers belonged to the Marienbaum mayor. In 1934 Vynen was incorporated into Marienbaum. As part of Marienbaum, Vynen came to the city of Xanten on July 1, 1969, which has been part of the newly founded Wesel district since January 1, 1975 .
