The name " Haustenbach " is already found as hate Beck flu. incurred on a 1620 map of the cartographer John Gigas.

The name " Glenne " is probably of Celtic origin. In Gaelic (Irish) means glen 'valley'. The other view is the Westphalian name researcher Hermann Jellinghaus.

" No part of the old Germany, between the Rhine and the Elbe, ie grade of the area, were in which Celtic and Slavic place names so far not been demonstrated, as has numerous names of villages that oppose safer interpretation, as the area of the Ems and its tributaries. "

Especially the frequency of the word " Glane " he considers the evidence of Germanic origin; an adjective " glan " means shiny, flashing, the associated verb is called glennen - shine or gliman - glan - glunum. So the derivative is not fixed properly.
