[[File:DEU Nettetal COA.svg|thumb|100px|left|Coat of arms]] |
|||
Nettetal is not a town itself, but a federation of villages that have developed around the river [[Nette (Niers)|Nette]], Peat removal formed most of the twelve lakes. It is right in the middle of the [[Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park]] and on the border with the [[Netherlands]], approximately 20 km north-west from [[Mönchengladbach]] and 10 km south-east from [[Venlo]]. There are 6 spatially divided boroughs. |
|||
Nettetal was founded on January 1, 1970, when the former townships [[Leuth (Germany)|Leuth]], Breyell, Hinsbeck and former towns/cities [[Lobberich]] and [[Kaldenkirchen]] were merged. All five communities had developed around the river [[Nette (Niers)|Nette]]. |
|||
Nettetal originally contained five boroughs, until Schaag separated from Breyell in 1995, becoming the sixth borough. |
|||
The small river [[Nette (Niers)|Nette]], broad forest and heath areas as well as twelf{{dubious|date=July 2020}} lakes make Nettetal a central resort in the Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park. |
|||
At the time of its formation, it was considered too problematic to try and combine all five coats of arms into one, so a new coat of arm was introduced in 1971. It shows a water lily before a blue blackground, symbolizing the predominance of nature and the variety of lakes. Five water lily leaves represent the five founding boroughs of Nettetal. |

Nettetal's main charter divides the municipality into 6 boroughs (''Ortschaften''). Lobberich and Kaldenkirchen are the biggest boroughs, since both have been autonomous municipalities in the past. Together with the former townships Breyell, Hinsbeck and Leuth they are the founding boroughs of Nettetal. Schaag was a part of Breyell before it became a borough of its own in 1995. |
