The church of Bergentheim

It 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 little 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, and closed in 1975. [6]

Industry

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