History

In 885, the Danish chief Godfrid was summoned to Lobith for a meeting after being accused of complicity with Hugh, Duke of Alsace in an insurrection against the emperor Charles the Fat. In an act of treachery he was killed by a group of German nobles. The village was first mentioned in 1222 as Lobedhe. The etymology is unclear. The village developed along a bend in the Rhine. In 1307, a castle was built in Lobith. The grist mill Tolhuys Coornmolen was built in 1888. In 1930, it burned down and only the base remained. The grinding was since then performed by an electric motor. In 1995, the wind mill was restored and operates once a week.
