Hongerige Wolf ({{IPA|nl|ˈɦɔŋərəɣə ˈʋɔl(ə)f}}; Hungry Wolf) is a hamlet with a population of 30 in the municipality of Oldambt in the Netherlands.
Overview
The origin of the name is unclear. It first appeared in a 1877 newspaper as "zoogedaamde Hongerige Wolf" (so-called Hungry Wolf).{{cite news|url=https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?coll=ddd&identifier=MMRHCG03:163370010:mpeg21:a00012 |title=Publieke verhuring |website=Winschoter courant |date=3 February 1877 |language=nl |access-date=1 March 2022}} It is probably related to an inn in the hamlet with the same name.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hongerige-wolf |title=Hongerige Wolf |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=1 March 2022 |language=nl}}{{cite web|url=https://groninganus.wordpress.com/2007/09/15/waar-komt-de-plaatsnaam-hongerige-wolf-vandaan/ |title=Waar komt de plaatsnaam ‘Hongerige Wolf’ vandaan? |website=Groninganus |author=Groninganus |date=15 September 2007 |access-date=1 March 2022 |language=nl}} Nevertheless, the name stuck and the hamlet is nowadays known as Hongerige Wolf. It ceased to be a statistical designation,{{cite web|url=https://www.cbs.nl/-/media/_excel/2021/48/kwb-2021.xls |title=Kerncijfers wijken en buurten 2021 |website=Central Bureau Statistics |access-date=1 March 2022|quote=Not listed}} therefore, the latest population update is from 1997.
From 1991 onwards, Hongerige Wolf received national attention when Hannelore Klinkhamer disappeared. Her husband Richard Klinkhamer was prime suspect, however no evidence or body could be found. He moved in 1997, and in 2000, his wife's remains were discovered below the concrete floor of the garden shed. Klinkhamer was sentenced to seven years for manslaughter.
