==Overview== thumb|210x210px|The church of Bergentheim The village was first mentioned in 1381-1383 as Bergenthem. The etymology is unclear, because it has always contained a "t". Around 1835, a peat excavation concession was obtained by I.A. van Royen. A small settlement with a school, church, shop and pub appeared at the intersection of two canals. In 1840, it was home to 243 people. In 1905, a railway station opened in Bergentheim, closing in 1975.
