Brueckenhof

The Brückenhof is a former winery in the form of a Franconian [[Gutshof | Hofanlage]] with a gate from the middle of the 17th century, which originally included a wine press house from 1641, which is now in the Kommern open-air museum . The main building of the courtyard was erected between 1681 and 1684 instead of a previous building according to a dendrochronological age determination. It was called the "Rennenberger Hof" after the Rhenish noble family von Rennenberg , who owned this farm until around 1570. It was one of the seven Freihöfe in the parish of Oberdollendorf, the jury sent to the so-called. Markgedinge , which administered the parish until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg at the beginning of the 19th century. The correspondence between the Brückenhof and the Rennenberger Hof only became known in 2013 after research by a family and local history researcher, while the latter had previously been assumed to have been demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.

From the middle of the 17th century until 1776, the Rennenberger Hof belonged to the von Moers family from Cologne . In 1798 it came into the possession of Mathias Comans (1773-1824), a judge of the Bergisch office of Löwenburg , whose widow sold him in 1843 through inheritance . In 1846, the entire property belonging to the Rennenberger Hof, which comprised 61 properties with an area of ​​63 acres , was auctioned from the bankruptcy estate of the subsequent owners . The farm itself was acquired by Josef Broel in 1847. At that time it was known as the “Brückenhof”, as a bridge spanning the Heisterbach , which was later canalized , provided access. After the death of the last owner of this family who had remained childless, the farm was sold in 1960 to the municipality of Oberdollendorf , where the town of Königswinter took over in 1969 as the legal successor to the then dissolved municipality. In 1989 the “Heimatverein Oberdollendorf und Römlinghoven” took over part of the building, then renovated the premises themselves and in spring 1991 opened the first exhibition of the Brückenhofmuseum. During the renovation of the bridge courtyard that began in October 2015, the museum remained closed and was reopened in June 2016.

The Brückenhof stands as monument under monument protection . The entry in the monuments list of the city of Königswinter took place on February 26, 1991.
