Suderwick

Suderwick is a village in the city of Bocholt, Kreis Borken in the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Suderwick is situated at the Dutch border and forms one urban area with Dinxperlo. One street in Dinxperlo, Heelweg, is partly German. The road itself lies in the Netherlands, but one side of the housing zone is in Suderwick, so in Germany (where it is called Hellweg).^[1] Suderwick might be translated as "southern area". Also, the villages house a shared Dutch-German police station.

Besides Dutch and German, at both sides of the border a common dialect is spoken, which is a variety of Low Saxon.
