History

Nicolaes Hoen [ nl] is the first known ancestor of the family; he was killed in the Battle of Baesweiler in 1371. During many centuries, the family owned and lived on Hoensbroek Castle, which can still be visited today. They played an important social and political role in the region.

In the Netherlands a comital cadet branch survives. In Germany, the family continues to thrive as Marquess & Marchioness and counts von und zu Hoensbroech. ^[1]
