Heemse (Dutch Low Saxon:Hiemse) is a neighbourhood ofHardenberg and former village in theDutch province ofOverijssel.[3] In 1966, it was annexed by Hardenberg.[4]
It was first mentioned in 1240 as Heymiss. The etymology is unknown.[5] Heemse became the seat of the municipality ofAmbt Hardenberg. In 1840, it was home to 481 people.[4]
In 1880, plans were being drafted for the building of tramlines fromZwolle toCoevorden and fromAvereest toGramsbergen. Themayor of Hardenberg, Willem van Ittersum, offered subsidies if that last line went to Hardenberg instead of Gramsbergen. In 1886, the first sod was turned by theDedemsvaartsche Stoomtramweg-Maatschappij (a Dutchsteam tramway company). For financial reasons (no bridge needed), the company decided to let the line end in Heemse.[6]
RestaurantDe Bokkenpruik (one Michelin star) is located in the village.[7]
