Jipsinghuizen (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Westerwolde, and lies about 28 km northeast of Emmen. The statistical area "Jipsinghuizen", which also can include the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 150.[1] Jipsinghuizen used to be part of the municipality of Vlagtwedde, but merged into Westerwolde in 2017.[2] In 1665, the Battle of Jipsinghuizen was fought between Münster and the Dutch Republic.
Battle of Jipsinghuizen
In 1665, Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the bishop of Münster, secretly constructed a road from Walchum, Lower Saxony to Sellingen, Groningen through the moor as part of a planned invasion of Groningen.[3] The population panicked and fled, and von Galen took Sellingen on 20 September. 1,800 men were stationed at Jipsinghuizen, to await the arrival of the remainder of the army.[4] The city of Groningen was alarmed and an army of 500 to 600 soldiers was dispatched to the region.[5]
In the early morning of 26 September, the troops led by Willem Nierop attacked. About 300 soldiers of Münster were killed, and the remainder fled back to Walchum.[5] Later, Münster managed to take Westerwolde via Drenthe and Oldambt, but was attacked by the Dutch States Army under command of John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen.[4]
On 18 April 1666, von Galen was forced to accept the treaty of Kleve, a humiliating peace treaty drawn up by Frederick William of Brandenburg.[4][6] Münster promised eternal peace, the return of all conquered territories and in particular Borculo, and a reduction of its army to 3,000 men. The eternal peace did not last, and von Galen returned in 1672.[7]
