history
Emergence
The emergence of the village of Hinsbeck, like that of the neighboring villages, is dated to the great Ripuarian settlement movement of the 7th and 8th centuries. At that time , Ripuarians coming from the south faced the Frankish Borchterern coming from the north . The border between these tribes is still today in the border between the parts of Westphalia and Rhineland. In particular, Hinsbeck appears for the first time around 1150 in the records of the Werden Abbey .
Origin of name
There are various attempts to explain the name Hinsbeck. They refer to old place names such as "Hesingebeke", "Hengisbeke" and "Hinxbek". The first part of the name was often interpreted as a derivation for stallion - which should indicate the earlier presence of wild horses. The word Hengis can also be related to the hero of the same name in the old Saxon myth of Hengest (Hengis) and Horsa , as the area was Saxon before the foundation of Werden Abbey. The brook (Beke) undoubtedly means the Deilbach , which flows into the Ruhr there. Opposite the village of Hinsbeck, on the other side of the Ruhr, is the village of Heisingen , which appears in the documents of the Werden Abbey as early as around the year 800 . The village of Hinsbeck, on the other hand, was first mentioned around 1150. The obvious explanation is that the name "Hesinge-Beke" refers to the "Heisinger Bach" and originally belonged to Heisingen.
Renaming to copper turning
It was officially renamed in 1875 when the towns of Hinsbeck and Rodberg were merged into one municipality as part of the municipal reforms . In order to avoid the name conflict with the community of Hinsbeck , the newly formed community was given the name Kupferdreh after the vernacular name "Kopperdrei" of a Ruhr bend near a former copper works.
Presence in Essen-Kupferdreh
The old name Hinsbeck can still be found in the designation of the districts and some street names in today's Essen-Kupferdreh. In addition, one of the two primary schools in Kupferdreh is called "Hinsbeck School".
Deilthal Railway
On September 20, 1831, the Deilthaler Railway between Hinsbeck and Kidney Court was opened by Prince Wilhelm of Prussia and was now allowed to call itself the Prince Wilhelm Railway . It was the first railway line in Germany that was built by a railway company. Your route is still part of the Wuppertal-Essen-Dorsten (S9) railway line.
