Hengesbeck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hengesbeck , another documented spelling Hengelar , is a desolate place . It was near Brilon , where the hanging corner joins the Hoppecke .

Like many other places, the place fell victim to the great desolation process in the late Middle Ages . It must have been a creeping, slow process. This began around 1300. There are different theories about the reasons for leaving the place. For example, the attraction of the city of Brilon is being considered.

Johann Suibert Seibertz writes: Hengesbeck sent all of its residents to the new city (Brilon), which soon became populous, strong and wealthy . This statement also applies to the desert areas of Weweringhausen , Kranewinkel and Borghardsberg .
