History
Individual artifacts from the area's earliest settlement date back to the early/middle Stone Age. In subsequent periods, various historical items have been found on municipal soil. These include a burial site with 1,000 tumuli in the area of Kalbeck, settlement remains on the Hees, remnants of a Roman road between Cologne and Nijmegen in the Netherlands, and a significant discovery of Roman silver coins. Franconian burial sites from around the 8th century have also been unearthed near the town center.
Weeze's history is reflected in several landmarks, such as the restored Catholic Church of St. Cyriakus, archaeological excavations from the Stone and Bronze Ages, Wissen Castle complete with its moat, Kalbeck Castle, and the ruins of Hertefeld Castle.
The area in and around present-day Weeze was first mentioned in a document from King Lothar II in 855. In this document, the King presented Count Ansfried with an estate east of the River Niers, known mainly as Villa Geizefurt and situated primarily in the farmstead area of Kalbeck.
The area was populated before the name "Weeze" was officially recorded for the first time in a document in 1226. In this document, Earl Henry III of Alpen presented the Zisterzienserkloster Kamp with an estate in the farmstead of Vornick.
