It is thought that German cities with “C” names (such as Crefeld, Cöln/Cologne, Coblenz) were using French or Latin spellings. From 1900 to about 1930's several German city names that started with a “C” were changed to modern “K” spellings, including Köln, Krefeld, Kobelez and Kapellen. Until 1969 the village of Kapellen had its own government and mayor. On July 1, 1969 there was a municipal restructuring plan; Kapellen and other nearby villages were added to the nearby city of Geldern. As of 2020, the city of Geldern includes the areas (villages) of Kapellen, Hartefeld, Lüllingen, Vernum, Pont, Veert and Walbeck. Geldern was added to the district of Kleve on January 1, 1975. As of December 2019, Geldern had a population of 33,730. Sights Nearby are the Castle Haag (about 6 km) with its 6-hole golf course.
