Rheeze has been inhabited since the early Middle Ages.[4] At the end of 1992, part of the core of Rheeze was designated as a protected townscape.[5] In the core of Rheeze, there is also a site of high archaeological value,[6] which means that archaeological research is required for soil activities deeper than 40 centimeters.

Etymology edit

The church reformer Albertus Risaeus was born in 1510 in Rheeze; the Latin name 'Risaeus' refers to this.[7][8] However, he was also known as Albert(us) Hardenberg, after the town near Rheeze. He left for Groningen at the age of 7, where there were better educational opportunities.[8]

Recreation area edit

Due to the location of Rheeze in the green Overijssel Vechtdal, tourism also plays a very important role in Rheeze.[9] There are many campsites,[10] mainly on the Grote Beltenweg, which house thousands of campers every year.

De Oldemeijer edit

The Oldemeijer is a recreational lake in the Hardenberg forestry, near Rheeze.[11] There is a beach around the lake and in the middle an island that can be reached by swimming or via two foot bridges. There are toilets and there is a kiosk where snacks are available.[12]
