Drei Höfe is a municipality in the district of Wasseramt in the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland. On 1 January 2013 the former municipalities of Heinrichswil-Winistorf and Hersiwil merged to form the new municipality of Drei Höfe. [3]
Heinrichswil is first mentioned in 1317 as Cristan von Heinrichswile. [4]
Hersiwil is first mentioned in 1324 as Hersenwile. It formed a double municipality with Heinrichswil until 1798, when Winistorf joined the other two to form the triple municipality of Hersiwil-Heinrichswil-Winistorf. In 1854 it split into three, separate, independent municipalities. In 1993, Heinrichswil and Winistorf merged again, but Hersiwil remained independent. [5]
The former municipalities that now make up Drei Höfe have a total combined area of 4.58 km2 (1.77 sq mi). [6]

Of this area, 1.59 km2 (0.61 sq mi) or 50.8% is used for agricultural purposes, while 1.26 km2 (0.49 sq mi) or 40.3% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.25 km2 (0.097 sq mi) or 8.0% is settled (buildings or roads). [7] The former municipality is located on a hill built up from a moraine on the road between Halten and Seeberg. It consists of the villages of Heinrichswil and Winistorf.

Of this area, 0.97 km2 (0.37 sq mi) or 67.8% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.32 km2 (0.12 sq mi) or 22.4% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.09 km2 (22 acres) or 6.3% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.02 km2 (4.9 acres) or 1.4% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.7% is unproductive land. [7]
