Netterden was a separate municipality until 1821, when it was merged with Bergh.[3] The village has a border crossing to Emmerich am Rhein. The Netterdenscher Kanal is the border canal separating both countries.
History
It was first mentioned in 1218 as Netterthen. The etymology is unclear. The village of Nütterden is just across the border.[4] In 1840, it was home to 350 people.[5] In 2011, a little Lady chapel appeared in Netterden. It is unclear who made and placed it there.[6]
