history
In 1529 the place was mentioned for the first time in the Bergisches Brüchtenverzeichnis because of a neighborhood dispute. In 1533, "Tryna uff dem Heyntzenberg" is mentioned in an exchange document as Berg - Sayn.
In the fodder oat labels of the Homburg rulership of 1580, 4 Bergische and 2 Saynische subjects are counted as taxable persons.
The spelling of the first mention was Uff dem Heyntzenberg , later also Am Hintzenberg , Heintzenbergh . Name interpretation unknown.
In the past, iron , copper and lead ores were mined . In the vicinity of the village there is a small , exploited greywacke quarry that is now backfilled.
