Until 1 January 2007, Hinnerup was the site of the municipal council of the now former [[Hinnerup Municipality]]. It is now the municipal seat of [[Favrskov Municipality]].

== History ==
The [[railway town]] of "Hinnerup Stationsby" emerged in 1862. The town later gave its name to the former Hinnerup Municipality, which was formed in 1967 by fusing the parishes of Grundfør, Vitten, Haldum and Vitten with Søften-Foldby Municipality.

A central building is "Hinnerup Bibliotek og Kulturhus" (Library and Cultural House), which opened in May 1993. The modern building has been designed by [[Hans Peter Svendler Nielsen]] from architectural firm [[3XN]], in Aarhus. In April 2002, an arson ruined most of the library facilities; however, it was re-opened in November the same year. The building also houses small art exhibitions and serves as a tiny ticket sales office for the railway line going right by.

In 2012, the city celebrated its 150th anniversary with a visit by [[Frederik X|Frederik]], the Crown Prince of Denmark and his wife, [[Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark]].<ref>{{cite web|date=8 September 2012|title=Mary gav bolden op for Østjylland|url=https://www.berlingske.dk/www-berlingske-dk/mary-gav-bolden-op-for-oestjylland|website=[[Berlingske]]|language=da}}</ref>
