history

The name hedges is a late medieval settlement name that was first mentioned in dialect around 1330 as a corner . In the original cadastre , the area of today's street hedges was recorded as Auf der Hecke . Etymologically , the name hedges is derived from "hecke / hegge" (= hedge, fencing) or "hac / hag" (= thorn bushes, enclosure, enclosed forest). In field names, hedge means either coppice, shrubbery or vacant strip between two fields.

According to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as "farms" had three houses in 1845. At that time there were 17 people living in the village, all of them Catholic. The spelling of the place name at that time was Hecke.
