 Location of Hinsbeck in the city of Nettetal

Hinsbeck is a district of Nettetal in the Viersen district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
geography
Hinsbeck is a state-approved resort and is known as a "mountain village" within the flat Lower Rhine landscape. Its urban design is largely shaped by its location on the slope of the Hinsbeck heights , which dominate the landscape of this area. The Catholic parish church of St. Peter on the slope dominates the townscape. Hinsbeck is located in the Maas-Schwalm-Nette nature park, two to three kilometers away from the Krickenbeck lakes near the German-Dutch border near Venlo (NL). The hilly area around Hinsbeck is also called "Hinsbeck Switzerland".
history
The first written sources mention the place and church in 1221 as Hensbec , 1238 as Heingstbeche , 1288 as Henxbeke and around 1300 as Hengesbeke .
The meaning of the syllable "beck" is hill (from idg. "* Bheg" = to bend, Germ. "Bah", to arch) - it describes the elevated position of the place. The syllable “stallion” has the meaning of something jumping, a horse (male horse only from the 15th century).
The landscape around the place used to look much different than it does today. The lakes did not yet exist; instead , there were extensive moors and breakland . It was not until the 17th century that extensive peat mining began , which resulted in today's Krickenbeck lake landscape . The Hinsbeck Heide was originally overgrown with beeches and oaks ; the forests were largely lost over time due to logging and grazing . This created a heather landscape; by the end of the 17th century only small remains of the forest were left. In the middle of the 18th century , the reforestation with pines began, large parts of it remained bare until the beginning of the 20th century . Today, a mixed forest created by the flight of seeds has almost displaced the heather. Several courts were set up in this barren landscape: the district court op de Geer , as well as the Schöffenschlucht and the Galgenberg . The Amandus fountain, popularly known as Hellijepöttsche , was also located on the heather, from which St. Amandus is said to have Christianized the area around 647 . In 1369 , Hinsbeck comprised around 90 households, which, assuming an average of 8 people per household, would mean around 700 inhabitants.
Hinsbeck was incorporated into Nettetal on January 1, 1970. In 1992 the golf club 'Haus Bey' opened. A youth hostel is located on the northern outskirts.
politics
Since the municipal reorganization in 1970, the formerly independent municipality Hinsbeck ( Kempen-Krefeld district ) has belonged to the newly formed town of Nettetal in the Viersen district.
The seat of the city administration, which is also responsible for Hinsbeck, and the political bodies is the neighboring district of Lobberich .
