Hoog Soeren is a village in the municipality of Apeldoorn, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. Since 1863, it is a crown land.
History
It was first mentioned in 814 or 815 as "portionem de silua in Suornom". The etymology is unclear.{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hoog-soeren |title=Hoog Soeren - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=2 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220702201718/https://plaatsengids.nl/hoog-soeren |url-status=dead }} Hoog Soeren developed in the early Middle Ages as an esdorp. In 1809, the Echoput, a {{convert|70|m}} deep water well, was dug. The luxury hotel and restaurant De Echoput is located near the well.{{cite web|url=https://www.entreemagazine.nl/culinair-chefs/nieuws/kevin-schlaman-de-nieuwe-chef-kok-bij-restaurant-de-echoput35637 |title=Kevin Schlaman is de nieuwe chef-kok bij Restaurant de Echoput |website=Entree Magazine |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1840, it was home to 191 people.{{cite web |url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/hoog-soeren |title=Hoog-Soeren |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=2 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220702201718/https://plaatsengids.nl/hoog-soeren |url-status=dead }} In 1863, the land was added to the crown land which limited the development of the village.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0117.php |title=Hoog-Soeren |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=18 March 2022}} William III of Orange intended to build his palace in Hoog-Soeren, but changed his mind and bought Het Loo Palace, a 1684 palace in Apeldoorn.
The Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1903, and redesigned in 1933. During World War II, the ammunition depot Hoog-Soeren was constructed. In late 1943, it measured {{convert|675|ha}} and was one of the largest depots in north-western Europe. The Allied forces were unaware of its existence, and it was never bombed. On 17 April 1945, the depot was dismantled and partially blown up. From 1998 until 2020, the area was off-limits and the leftover ammunition was defused.{{cite web|url=https://mijngelderland.nl/inhoud/routes/geheugen-van-apeldoorn/munitiedepot |title=Munitiedepot - Duitse opslag in de bossen bij Hoog Soeren |website=Mijn Gelderland |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}}{{cite web|url=https://www.oorlogsbronnen.nl/thema/Munitieopslagplaats%20Hoog%20Soeren |title=Munitieopslagplaats Hoog Soeren |publisher=Network of War Collections |access-date=19 March 2022 |language=nl}}
