Early in the 12th century, the direct ancestors of the Merckelbachs became known as Van Anstel which two centuries later changed to Anstelrode (with slight variations). In the year 1374, the knight Reinert Vaes Huyn van Amstenrade acquired from the duke of Brabant a fief known as Upper Manor of Merkelbeek (or Merkelbeich, or Merckelbach). He was thus rewarded for fighting in the bloody battle of Baesweiler.* Reinert took on the name Reinert van Merkelbeek and his male descendants retained the name Merckelbach, or variations thereof, ever since.
