Hököpinge is a locality situated in Vellinge Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 923 inhabitants in 2005.[1] It lies about 2 km north of Vellinge
The village contains mostly older buildings along small roads. However, in the village's outer reach there are newly-built four storey buildings in "factory style" at the former factory [2]
History
Researchers believe that around the 12th century this was a marketplace, mainly because of its position. Hököpinge is located close to the sea and was well protected against wars inland, an ideal place for a marketplace.
The name Hököpinge comes from the Old Norse word Haukrs, witch means marketplace. In 1346 the name was spelled Hököpingel, in 1479 Hökiobinge and in 1567 Höykiöpinge.
The main road that went between the two larger cities Malmö and Trelleborg went by Hököpinge and not by Vellinge as many people may believe, and that’s just another proof of Hököpinge's importance in trading.
Recent History
The 11th November 2009 it was revealed that Vellinge Municipality would have the municipialities first lodging for refugee children set up in a hostel in Hököpinge.[3] The lodging for the refugee children was set up by Attendo Care, commisioned by Malmö and thus it wasn't warmly welcomed by many of the politicians in Vellinge Municipality or the inhabitants of Hököpinge. [4][5][6] Vellinge hasn't accepted refugees before this.
