history

The von Beringhausen knightly family resided in Beringhausen . The origin of the Beringhausen house is still unknown today. In 1313 a Heinrich von Beringhausen is listed in Count Wilhelm von Arnsberg's list of properties. The knight's seat owned forests, fields and meadows in Beringhausen, Berlar, Blüggelscheidt, Mosebolle and on the Klause, among others . The respected family came from provosts of the Meschede monastery and abbots of the Grafschaft monastery .

In the later years the owners of the manor changed more frequently. In 1854 the von Spee family sold the manor to Vetter zu Halbeswig. In 1900 the General Knappschaftsverein in Bochum acquired the property to build a sanatorium. A year later, construction work began on the Knappschaftskrankenhaus according to plans by the architect Julius Boethke . The Auguste-Viktoria-Knappschaftsheilstätte was opened on June 28, 1904 after its completion.
