Asbeck (Hamm)
Map with all coordinates: Asbeck is the name of a family that has been recorded in Hamm since the 13th century. She initially held leading positions in the bakery and in 1753 appointed the mayor . Above all, however, it became known through the August Asbeck grain distillery and yeast factory operated between 1757 and 1984 (the company had this name from 1871; a large yeast factory was built around 1900) and its brand "Teckel-Hefe". The company was originally located as a craft distillery, bakery, brewery and restaurant in Haus Asbeck at Nordstraße 13 and was converted into an independently operated distillery and yeast factory in 1774. When the company moved to Ritterstrasse in 1877, Haus Asbeck remained a well-known restaurant. The building erected in 1734 should actually be placed under monument protection, but it was found that the building fabric was so damaged that it could no longer be saved; it was demolished in 1995. In addition to yeast production, Asbeck continued the Hammer brewing tradition alongside Isenbeck and the Pröpsting monastery brewery , making it one of the most successful and long-lived breweries in the city of Hamm.
Asbeck family
In some sources you can read that a man named Goswin Asbeck is said to have been mayor of Hamm as early as 1279 . However, this representation is incorrect. Mayor this year was Gerwinus Allec, magister consulum.
Konrad Asbeck , born around 1570, is mentioned in a document as a Richtmann for 1613, i.e. head of the bakery office. Until 1734 twelve other men of this name held the office of guild master at the head of the baker's office. Of the eight craft guilds , the guild of the baker's office was considered the most respected in town at the time. The Asbeck coat of arms, a red lion with a golden pretzel in its paw, goes back to the high position of the family within the craft guild.
Johann Henrich Asbeck (* 1723 on Südstrasse in Hamm; † 1779 in Hamm) was mayor of the city of Hamm and regional court assessor. He was the son of the baker and brewer Stephan Albert Asbeck and his wife Anna Catharina born. Black. His parents owned the house at Südstrasse 12, which still exists today and is known as "Milestone". However, this was only built after the great fire of 1741. In 1740 Johann Henrich Asbeck enrolled at the Academic Gymnasium in Hamm. After studying law, he was promoted to mayor of Hamm in 1753 and then became a regional judge at the newly established Hamm regional court (documented 1753–1777). It is still unclear whether he remained mayor after 1753. Johann Henrich Asbeck married a woman named Anna Maria Eleonora Pröbsting (1734–1767) on February 23, 1755. This was the daughter of the mayor of Kamen Gottfried Henrich Pröbsting, who with Hamm u. a. was connected by the fact that he had also enrolled at the Academic Gymnasium in Hamm in 1712. The marriage resulted in only one child, the daughter named Anna Maria Wilhelmina (1755-1824). In 1775 she married Friedrich Berthold von Rappard († 1833), who later became President of the Hamm Higher Regional Court . In 1756 Johann Henrich Asbeck published the text "The Memorable of the City of Hamm" . He also built the house at Antonistraße 1 (old: Nro 259), which later housed the reformed Wilhelm-Stift.
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Asbeck (* ~ October 29, 1783 in Hamm, † 1839 in Hamm) was a baker and innkeeper in Hamm. He was married to Elisabeth Leffer (1793-around 1846). In the 1830s, the couple ran the inn at Weststrasse 11 (old: Nro 89). Heinrich Asbeck also volunteered in the poor commission of the city of Hamm (documented in 1829 and 1832).
Johann Asbeck (* 1805 in Hamm; † February 23, 1848 in Hamm) was a baker and innkeeper, later a local councilor and city councilor in Hamm. He was the son of Hermann Asbeck and his wife Johanna Maria geb. Isenbeck was born in the building on Nordstrasse 13, later known as Haus Asbeck . In 1827 he married Henriette Unkenbold. Johann Asbeck was the father of the distillery owner August Asbeck (1833–1905), after whom the company was named. For 1833 Johann Asbeck is the operator of the inn "Zur Stadt Münster", which was located in his parents' house. He was also a councilor or city councilor (proven in 1833, 1840, 1846).
House Asbeck
/
In the early 18th century, the house on Nordstrasse 13 was initially owned by the Krüsemann brewers and bakers. After the town fire of 1734, the baker Eberhard Krüsemann (1682–1757) built the building, later known as Haus Asbeck, at the confluence of Ritterstrasse with Nordstrasse. With a five-window front facing Nordstrasse and its longitudinal orientation towards Ritterstrasse, the building presented itself as a typical representative of the new Hammer buildings that were built according to plan after the great city fires of 1734 and 1741. Today, roughly identical buildings can still be found on Nordstraße 11 (former Café Hasebrink, built after 1734) and on Südstraße 7 (built after 1741). As planned corner house types, these buildings served as residential and commercial buildings after the city fires. Before 1762 Franz Leonhard Krüsemann lived in the house. After his death in 1762, his widow Clara Catharina Auff'm Ordt († 1800) married the baker and brewer Johann Wilhelm Asbeck, who died before 1784. Their son Hermann Asbeck (* 1768) appeared after 1800 as an innkeeper in the house. His widow Johanna Maria Asbeck b. From 1933, Isenbeck and her son Johann Asbeck (1805–1848) continued the inn under the name "Zur Stadt Münster". Also the son of Johann Asbeck and his wife Henriette geb. Unkenbold, who later owned the distillery August Asbeck (1833–1905), is proven to be the owner of the house.
Around 1892, Maria Pletschen's parents-in-law leased the restaurant, who then took over the restaurant together with her husband in 1942 and stayed there for fifty-three years, so that the restaurant was run under the name Pletschen for over 100 years. Many regulars from the early days stayed with the landlady until the establishment was closed in 1995. After Haus Asbeck was demolished, Maria Pletschen took over the corner pub Antoni- und Königstraße at the age of 78, which she ran for another six years. Shortly before her 92nd birthday, the landlady died in October 2008.
In 1995 Haus Asbeck was to be placed under monument protection. During the course of this procedure, the owner, Klaus Asbeck, learned that the time at which the building could still have been preserved had long been exceeded and that preservation was no longer possible. After the neighboring building was torn down, further damage to the building came to light. The demolition decision caused a sensation in the city. On May 23, 1995, the regulars of the restaurant hung banners out of the window demanding: No end for Maria! But even a signature campaign could no longer prevent the demolition that was carried out in the same year. The successor building at the same location, a residential and commercial building, has the address Ritterstraße 2.
August Asbeck grain brandy distillery and yeast factory

In 1757 Johann Wilhelm Asbeck took over the artisanal distillery, bakery, brewery and restaurant in the house at Nordstrasse 13 from his in-laws Aufm'ort.
The company later named the year 1774 as the founding year of the independent operation of a distillery and yeast factory, continuing the Hammer brewing tradition . However, it is clear from the documents received, which are now in the archive of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, that yeast was produced and distilled in the Asbeck house much earlier.
In 1871 the company was then named after August Asbeck and was given the name it had until it went out in 1984. Soon the factories turned out to be too small, so that the company was gradually relocated to Ritterstrasse from 1877 through the purchase of several properties. Around 1900 the yeast factory, which was located there until 1984, was built at this location. The builders were Robert, August and Karl Asbeck, who were also called the "three old gentlemen" and who took over the management of the factory from 1902.
Johann August Asbeck, son of August Asbeck, modernized the facilities between 1933 and 1939 by building a new administration building (completed in 1936), a boiler house and a guest house. In World War II, many of these plants have been damaged. There were also only a few employees left. In 1946, operations could be resumed on a smaller scale. In the following years the plant was modernized and new fermentation tanks, ventilation systems, rotary filters, boilers etc. purchased. Finally, they cooperated with two other companies in the form of a production community. Asbeck had various major customers, including large bakeries and bakery cooperatives. The best-known brand of the Asbeck company was the so-called "Teckel yeast", named after the company logo, which in turn resulted from the Asbeck's hobby for teckel breeding.
In 1955 the company was transformed into "August Asbeck KG" until it went out in 1984.

The former distillery tower on Ritterstraße has been a listed building since May 30, 1995 for architectural reasons. The distillery tower up to a depth of 7.95 m, including the chimney, but without the attachments, is considered a monument. Although the building was built in several stages, it was designed uniformly in the form of the round arch style. The bricks are hardly distinguishable. It is a building that is typical of its function and indicates the production of brandy, even without the necessary equipment. The building is therefore an important testimony to the Hammer industrial architecture of the 19th century.
