Lutten (Dutch Low Saxon: Luttn) is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality Hardenberg, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south-west of Coevorden.[3]
History
[edit ]The village was first mentioned in 1532 as Lotten, and means "low lying place". There was another hamlet called Lutten nearby which changed its name to Oud-Lutten [nl] (Old Lutten).[4] [5] Lutten developed during the peat excavation of the raised bog. The construction of the Dedemsvaart [nl] canal stagnated near Lutten around 1830, because the marke [nl] Ane had not divided up the wilderness in its area.[6] A marke was a form of government with communal land.[7] In 1832, the problem was solved by digging a canal to Slagharen.[6]
Lutten was home to 236 people in 1840.[8] The Dutch Reformed church in the village is an aisleless church with an entrance hall topped by a tower with wooden roof lantern. It was built in 1853.[6]
In 1901, the potato starch factory, Baanbreker opened in Lutten. The complex is now used by a plastic pipe factory.[6]
In 1932, a water tower was built which measures 49 metres (161 ft). It is one of two Dutch water towers with a gable roof. The tower is currently used as bed and breakfast.[8]
