Hamelandroute 91, Heurne (vanished)
In 1859, the border office in the Aalten Heurne was moved from the Bodendijk (now Kiefteweg) to the former Bocholtscheweg, the current Hamelandroute. This was the building on the left in the photo above.
Tram and marechaussee
In 1910, a station for the steam tram on the Bocholt-Aalten-Lichtenvoorde line was erected next to the border office (the building with the veranda, on the right in the photo above). In 1932, this tram station was converted into a marechaussee barracks. In the late 1930s, the marechaussee moved to a new barracks on the Ringweg. The former tram station was converted into a border office. Around 1960, the ‘new’ border office was stripped of its characteristic veranda.
Border Office
In the mid-1970s, the old border office from 1859 was demolished. Subsequently, a modern single-storey office was built on the same site. After this new building was completed, the former tram station was also demolished.
It was a busy border crossing. The customs post was manned 24 hours a day. During peak periods, fifty to sixty customs officers sometimes worked there. Following the establishment of the Schengen Agreement, the customs post was permanently closed on December 31, 1992. The office remained in use for years afterward by various small businesses. It was demolished in 2024.
