House Horl

Haus Horl (also Horle and Hoirle ) is a lost, medieval moated castle in what is now Essen 's Vogelheim district at Bottroper Strasse 400.

Naming

The name of Haus Horl is derived from horlon for "to the forests in the marshland" or hor for "dirt" and lo for "light forest".

history

In contrast to the neighboring, also submerged Heck house , which was on the Berne , the Horl moat was fed solely by the Borbeck mill stream. Only later, with the construction of the Rhine-Herne Canal from 1906, was the Berne diverted to the Mühlbach creek bed. Haus Horl was demolished around the same time.

Horl is first mentioned in 1467. The sources show that the Horl House was associated with the Hereditary Marshal's Office of the Essen Monastery for a long time . In 1542, for example, the Essen Hereditary Marshal Heinrich op dem Berge was the owner of Horl. Heinrich sued his sister Stephana and her husband Alef von Steinhuis, because they had apparently taken the Horl house when Heinrich was banned as a follower of the Anabaptists . The same Heinrich was also the owner of Horl in 1558. In that year he sued various men of the Essen abbess Katharina von Tecklenburg , because they attacked Heinrich " with a hundred men in Haus Horl, tore down the fencing on 2 of his fighters on the Beeck, tore down 2 of his bridges over the Beeck, a" Schlag ”against high water, which Hollenbeck, which drove the mill at Haus Horl, dug up and prevented haying in several meadows. “In 1566 the Essen abbess Irmgard von Diepholz enfeoffed Elbert von Spee for Dietrich von Eller with Haus Horl and the Marshal's office of Essen. In 1606 Johan von Dellwich, Drosten zu Blankenstein and Werden were enfeoffed with the Essen Hereditary Marshal's Office, Haus Horl including the mill, the Hofstatt zu Borbeck, half of the estate at Borckholt (Burckhollt) and the justice of the old mountains. In 1738 a Freiherr von Dobbe was the owner of Haus Horl. And in 1752 Johan Werner Gisbert Freiherr von Dobbe, a lieutenant from Cologne-Münster, was enfeoffed with Haus Horl.

According to Honigmann's map of 1803/06, it was a one-piece system with a surrounding moat that was filled by the Mühlenbach. Two buildings can be seen on the map. The approach was in the northeast. The house included larger estates, fishing and hunting rights and an oil mill.

In 1907 the buildings were demolished as part of the expansion of the Krupp factory. In 1990, remnants of the wall and pile foundations were removed during a factory redesign. A piece of the original moat could also be seen. A millstone was also recovered, which may have come from the mill belonging to the house.

Today nothing remains of Haus Horl above ground. The area is used as a parking lot and is not open to the public. A street in the immediate vicinity was named Haus-Horl-Straße to commemorate the moated castle . On February 21, 1991 Haus Horl was entered in the list of ground monuments of the city of Essen.
