History
The name of the municipality is derived from the name of the Hövelhof, a grange that was founded around the year 1000. The first official documentation of its name was in 1446. About 200 years later, in 1645, the last owner died childless. Thus, the Hövelhof fell into the ownership of the local sovereign, the prince-bishop of Paderborn. Close to the farm, the hunting lodge was built in 1661; at the beginning of the 18th century, the first church was erect.
