Diepenheim is a small city in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Hof van Twente, about 5 km southwest of Goor. Diepenheim was a separate municipality until 2001, when it became a part of Hof van Twente. [3]
It was first mentioned in 1150 as de Dipenhem. The name probably means "settlement near low lying land". [4] Diepenheim developed next to Huize Diepenheim. [5] The original manor house was destroyed in 1177 by the Prince-Bishop of Münster who built a castle in its place. [6] The castle was partially demolished after a 1536 siege. The current manor house dates from 1648, but has been extensively modified and altered. [6]
In 1224, a parish church was built in Diepenheim. The city rights are from 1422, [5] however it probably had become a city prior to 1379, but the archives were destroyed in a fire in 1597. [7] The Dutch Reformed Church dates from 1679 and has a bell dating from 1366. [5] Warmelo is a havezate surrounded by a moat from the 17th century and is located to the west of Diepenheim. [5]
Diepenheim remained a small city, and is nicknamed "Stedeke" (little city) by its inhabitants. In 1840, it was home to 666 people. In 2001, it was merged into Hof van Twente. [7]
