The community, to which the centres of Hardingen (amalgamated in 1974) and Hesingen also belong, has 654 inhabitants (as of June 2005) and spans 21.15 km².
The community’s mayor is Geert Beckhuis.
The Poascheberg in Hesingen is, with an elevation of 89 m above sea level, the highest point in the lower part of the old County of Bentheim.

Further centres are Belthoek, Bovenhoek, Dalenhoek, Erstenhoek and Kleihoek.
