Halle is a village in the municipality of Bronckhorst in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
History
[edit]It was first mentioned in 1263 as Hall, and means "bend in highland".[3] The village is located on a sandy ridge through the moorland of the Achterhoek,[4] and was in an area suitable for agriculture in a region of swamps and heaths. In 1840, it was home to 690 people.[5] In 1848, the windmill Molen van Coops and operated until 1925 when it was converted into a motor powered mill. It was damaged in 1945, and the remainder was demolished in the 1990s.[6] In 1858, the Grote Kerk was built in the village.[4]
In March 1945, Halle became part of the German defence line. The population had fled the village, however much of the village including the church were destroyed.[7] The church was rebuilt in 1951. In 1976, a tower was added to the church.[8]
Sports
[edit]The motocross circuit Kappenbulten near Halle organises an annual grand prix.[9] The Zwarte Cross music and motocross festival used to be located at the Kappenbulten circuit until 2006, when it moved it Lichtenvoorde, because the festival needed more space.[10] An autocross is also takes place in Halle.[11]
