House Balken (Gelsenkirchen)

Haus Balken was a manor in Gelsenkirchen-Buer located on the Emscher .

The first documentary evidence included the free judge Godefridus de Balken miles in villa suthem in 1307 and the knight Gottfried von Balken as a free bishop in a free chair in Bottrop in 1380 .

In 1482 Jasper von Dinsing acquired the manor from Jürgen von Backem. Hermann von Dinsing, who was in debt and no longer had an heir, sold the house to Konrad von Boenen zu Berge and his wife Johanna in 1614.

The remains of the house were demolished after the Second World War.
