sentences:  The name is drawn from the one borne by the brook that flows through the municipality, the Henschbach.The ending "—bach" (“brook”) was simply dropped and replaced with "—tal" (“dale” or “valley”).The first syllable, "Hensch—", derives from the German "Hengst" (“stallion”; compare the development of the English word "henchman"), and indeed for a while, the brook was called the "Hengstbach".
