History

edit

Ressen was first mentioned in 1150 as Rexnam. The etymology is unknown and may not be Germanic.[3] In 1840, it was home to 200 people. In 1997, a part of Ressen was transferred to Nijmegen for the Waalsprong [nl] neighbourhood. For a short period, it had the place name Ressen (Nijmegen), however it has become an integral part of the new neighbourhood.[4]
