history
The name of the settlement Hoppenkamp picks up on an old designation that is recorded in this form in the original cadastre . In the second half of the 17th century, the field name was already mentioned in a list of the lords' rent to be paid to the lord of the castle. The defining word hop is a Cologne / Rhenish dialect for hops . The word Kamp means a piece of land. So in earlier times hops were harvested in a field, which was used as a raw material for alcoholic beers.
