History

The village was first mentioned in 1223 as in Marresia. The etymology is unclear.[3] Maarheeze is a church village which developed in the Early Middle Ages.[4]

Maarheeze was home to 220 people in 1840.[5] The Catholic St Gertrudis Church was built between 1909 and 1910 and has two towers.[4] In 1913, a railway station was built in Maarheeze, however it closed in 1938 and the building was demolished in 1966.[6] A new railway station was built in 2010.[7] In 1955, a factory was opened by Philips.[5]

Maarheeze used to be a separate municipality. It merged with Budel in 1997, and changed its name to Cranendonck.[8]

Though located in North Brabant near Eindhoven, the spoken dialect is Budels (linguistically a Limburgish dialect), rather than Kempenlands (linguistically an East Brabantian dialect).[9]
