Bedburhof

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bedburhof was a feudal farm in the Lendersdorf judicial district, today a district of Düren . The free property was also called Bedber, Bebberdrisch or Bebberhaus .

In Wenzel Hollar's city map, the street leading south from “Eschpfort” is called “Bedber Street”. August Schoop describes the location of the farm as the place where the path leading from the Weierhof ( Gut Weyern ) to Rur cuts the embankment.

The oldest mention of the "Bedebuyr" estate is in a certificate issued to Kaster on May 25, 1375 by Duke Wilhelm II and Duchess Maria. On September 20, 1398 Johann von Birgel , the son of the deceased Jülich Hereditary Marshal Wynmar Frambalch von Birgel, leased Düren citizen Lambrecht, Löhrer im Altwerk, and his wife Adelheid 27½ acres of land. The owner was Carsilis von Palant, Lord of Breitenbend . At that time the estate had 40 acres of land and 24 acres of Benden. In 1489 the married couple Wilhelm and Druitgen Weingarnter had the Bedbur house and farm on lease. At the time of the Geldrian succession dispute, the farm is often mentioned. For example, Emperor Charles V stopped near the Bedburhaus on August 23, 1543. In 1547 Engelbert von Birgel and his children are named as the owner. The next fiefdom holder of the court was Peter von der Ehren in 1566. The tenants were Göbbels, Nellis, Müller and Arnold von Bedbur one after the other. Quirin Maaßen followed from 1602 to 1605. On May 31, 1642, the court was destroyed by the Hessian troops. The tenant Gerd Frangenheim lost his apartment on the farm. Elector Wilhelm enfeoffed Eremund von Gervertzhagen with his wife Elisabeth von der Ehren and Adolf von Zevel, married to Maria Adriana von der Ehren, with the court in 1661. From 1671 to 1678 the tenant Hilger Thumb Bedburhaus farmed only 35 acres of land. The owners of Gevertzhagen and von Zevel could not stop the decline. In 1676 they tried in vain to sell the farm to Peter von der Ehren. Around 1746 the estate only consisted of the empty house, some remains of the wall and 20 acres of land along the Weyern estate. At the end of the 18th century, Theodor Ferdinand Bernhard von Behr and Ferdinand Freiherr von Breidenbach were feudal owners. Around 1800, the properties located south of the Kuhbrücke were sold to Heinrich Wilhelm Schoeller ( Schoellershammer ), and those located north to the Krudewig-Zehnpfennig family. In the will of April 30, 1827, Heinrich Wilhelm Schoeller bequeathed the so-called Bebberhaus to his son Heinrich August , consisting of 12 acres of 44 rods of meadow and 9 acres of 2 rods of 60 feet of farmland, all in one piece. House Bedbur no longer exists today.
