At the beginning of the eighth century there was a monastery south of the Rhine in Rinderen near Cleves. This monastery was dedicated to Martin and owned properties, farms and lands in the meadow area. In 750 the monastery was closed and the land was acquired in a Grundherrschaft, which passed to the monastery of Echternach in Luxembourg. The designation Sivenar appears in the excise lists that have been preserved. It can be concluded from this that around 720 - 730 an estate on the territory of the current Oud-Zevenaar belonged to the Rinderen monastery.
