history

The place name and the local field names (including "Auf dem Heckenfeld") suggest the formation of hedges during the high medieval clearing phase and an early agricultural use of the areas. The vernacular name of the place is "Häcke (n)". Hecken belonged to the Honschaft Windhagen in the parish of the same name and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne Office of Altenwied . The place was documented in 1660 under its current name during an inventory in the Altenwied office, when three houses were counted here. Hof Hasenberg , which was adjacent to the hedges at the time, was uninhabited at the time.

In Prussian times (from 1815) Hecken remained a part of the Honschaft, later the municipality of Windhagen, since 1823 in the administrative district of the Asbach mayor . In the context of censuses Hecken was recorded as a hamlet in the first half of the 19th century , in 1843 it comprised six residential and seven farm buildings. Hedges never grew beyond the size achieved at that time. In the 1930s, the district was supplied with water from a spring in the "Held" parcel to the east. For this reason, the route of the former Reichsautobahn (today's A3) was built further west than originally planned. At the end of the 1970s, the new development area "Auf dem Heckerfeld" with around 100 building plots was built between Hecken and the main town of Windhagen. Since then, Hecken has been part of the closed development of Windhagen and is no longer an independently named part of the municipality. The Heckener Strasse today indicates the location of the district .
