The church of Bergentheim

The village was first mentioned in 1381-1383 as Bergenthem. The etymology is unclear, because it has always contained a "t". [4] Around 1835, a peat excavation concession was obtained by I.A. van Royen. A small settlement with a school, church, shop and pub appeared at the intersection of two canals. [5] In 1840, it was home to 243 people. [6] In 1905, a railway station opened in Bergentheim, closing in 1975. [6]

Industry

Bergentheim used to have a large bread factory, which was established just after World War II by the Schipper family, known as the NOH (Noord Oost Hoek) bakkerijen, and later Bakkersland. It closed in 2005. Nowadays, the area's major employers are the Lensen Toppoint industry for writing instruments and promotional items, and the local Wavin factory.
