Helden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɛldə(n)] ; Limburgish: Helje) is a village located in the province of Limburg in the southeastern Netherlands. The village dates back to the tenth century at least, and a local variation of Limburgish is still spoken by some of the population.

Helden and twin city Panningen previously belonged to the Helden municipality, but in 2010 they joined other municipalities to form the new municipality of Peel en Maas.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1144 as "apud Helden", and means "hill". Until 1279, it was part of the County of Kessel [nl].

In 1674, it was sold to Gelderland as an independent heerlijkheid.[4]

After the occupation by Gelderland, Helden was sold to Prussia. Under Prussia, Helden had developed a small industry.

Only after the Napoleonic wars of 1814 did Helden belong to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. But not for long, because after the Belgium Independence changed Helden with a large part of Limburg to the state of Belgium.

The Catholic St Lambertus Church is a three aisled basilica-like church. The nave and choir date from the 15th century. The church was restored after a fire in 1885. In 1944, the tower which probably dated from the 14th century was blown up. The church was restored between 1952 and 1953, and a more modest tower was added.[5]

Helden was home to 341 people in 1840.[6] It was an independent municipality, however the town hall was located in Panningen. In 2010, it was merged into Peel en Maas.[6]
