Hoenderloo ({{IPA|nl|ˈɦundərloː}}) is a Dutch village located south west of the city of Apeldoorn. Most of the village is part of the municipality of Apeldoorn, but a small part belongs to the municipality of Ede, among which the hamlet Hoog Baarlo.
The village is located in the Southern part of the Veluwe and close to the national park Hoge Veluwe and the Deelerwoud. It is a very touristic village, with a large number of camping sites, recreation parks, restaurants, hotels and shops.
History
It was first mentioned in 1748 as "Hoender Lo Struycken", and means forest with galliformes.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hoenderloo |title=Hoenderloo |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1813, the shephard Albert Brinkenberg becomes the first official resident. In 1840, there were 24 sod houses at the site.{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hoenderloo |title=Hoenderloo |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=8 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208153206/https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hoenderloo |url-status=dead }}
In 1841, during his travels the vicar Ottho Heldring stumbled upon the remote village and decided to invest in the village by building a well, a school in 1846 and a church in 1858.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0165.php |title=Hoenderloo |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=18 March 2022}}
In 1848, a predecessor of the current Hoenderloo Group, at that time an institution for underprivileged boys, was founded. The current incarnation of this institution is still referred to as “The Boys House”, although it is not only for boys any more.
In the late-19th century, Hoenderloo became home to nobility and rich businesspeople who built their country estates. The area later developed into a recreational site for tourists.
The inn "De Woeste Hoeve" is located to the east of Hoenderloo and was built in 1771 along the road from Apeldoorn to Arnhem. In March 1945, there was attempted assassination of Hanns Albin Rauter, the highest SS and Police Leader of the Netherlands, at De Woeste Hoeve. As a reprisal 117 people from various prisons were executed near De Woeste Hoeve on 8 March 1945. In 1992, a monument was revealed at the spot with the list of their names except for one who is still unidentified.{{cite web|url=https://www.tracesofwar.nl/sights/813/Locatie-en-Monument-De-Woeste-Hoeve.htm |title=Locatie & Monument De Woeste Hoeve |website=Traces of War |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}}
{{ill|Jachthuis Sint-Hubertus|nl}} is a former residence of the Kröller-Müller couple ({{ill|Anton Kröller|nl|lt=Anton}} and Helene) designed by Hendrik Petrus Berlage which was completed in 1920.{{cite web|url=https://www.hogeveluwe.nl/en/discover-the-park/art-and-architecture/jachthuis-sint-hubertus |title=Jachthuis Sint Hubertus |website=Hoge Veluwe |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1935, the building was donated to the Dutch States. It is sometimes open for visitors.{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081105073244/http://www.cultuurwijzer.nl/cultuurwijzer.nl/cultuurwijzer.nl/i000830.html |url=http://www.cultuurwijzer.nl/cultuurwijzer.nl/cultuurwijzer.nl/i000830.html |archive-date=5 November 2008 |title=Jachthuis Sint Hubertus |website=Cultuurwijzer |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}}
Sports and recreation
The village is located along the European hiking route E11, locally known as the Marskramerpad or Handelsweg. The E11 runs all the way from The Hague to the east, at the present time all the way to the border between Poland and Lithuania. The town's football club was s.v. Beatrix.{{Cite web| title =History of s.v.
