History

The village was first mentioned in 1247 as de Maldene, and means people's meeting / court of justice.[4] Malden developed between the moraine and the river bank in the Early Middle Ages. Later, it developed into a linear settlement along the road (nowadays: N844).[5]

Malden was home to 680 people in 1840,[6] which increased to 10,930 by 2021.
