History
Hartwerd was first mentioned in the 13th century as Hertwarth, and means "terp of Harte".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hartwerd |title=Hartwerd - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Up to 1322, the landdag of Westergo was held at Hartwerd.
The Oegeklooster{{cite web|url=http://carmelnet.org/brandsma/html/biog2.html|work=Carmelite Friars|title=Bl. Titus Brandsma}} which was an outpost of Bloemkamp Abbey, stood in the vicinity of the village from 1191 to 1572. In the course of the Münster Rebellion, the monastery was attacked in 1535 by a group of Anabaptists, who badly damaged the buildings of the cloister. In 1572, the monastery was destroyed by the Geuzen.{{cite web|url=https://www.frieslandwonderland.nl/plaats/hartwerd |title=Hartwerd |website=Friesland Wonderland |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}}
The church of Hartwerd was demolished in 1722. The tower was demolished in 1801, and only a little bell tower remained. The polder mill De Oegekloostermolen has been known to exist as early as 1830. It has been replaced by a pumping station, however the wind mill has been designated emergency backup in 2006.{{cite web|url=https://www.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=79 |title=Oegekloostermolen |website=Molendatabase |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}}
Hartwerd was home to 95 people in 1840.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hartwerd |title=Hartwerd |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Before 2011, the village was part of the Wûnseradiel municipality.
Notable people
The Blessed Titus Brandsma (1881–1942), O.Carm., was born on a dairy farm in Oegeklooster. He was a Carmelite friar, who became a noted scholar and philosopher, and helped to found Radboud University. He was arrested by the Gestapo during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands for his open and strong opposition to their goals, and sent to Dachau concentration camp. There he was executed there by lethal injection in 1942. He has been declared a martyr by the Catholic Church.
