Scheventorf Castle

Scheventorf Castle is a former water castle in the Renaissance style and a former manor in Bad Iburg (Lower Saxony).

Part of the castle complex from the construction period around 1552 is considered to be the oldest existing half-timbered construction in the Osnabrück region .

According to a legend , the beautiful Anna von Hake was walled up alive in the castle during the Thirty Years War because of an unsuitable liaison. The priest and writer Bernhard Köster set a literary monument to her in a historical novel published in 1924.

location

The lowland castle located south of the center of the former borough Iburg in today's district Glane on the territory of the former peasantry Ostenfelde . It is located east of the federal highway 51 leading to Glandorf , which is called Münsterstraße in the urban area of ​​Bad Iburgs . The Glaner Bach flows southeast of Scheventorf Castle. The brook, a tributary of the Ems from the confluence of the Kohlbach and Freedenbach on the Kleiner Freeden , fed the moat and the mill pond. About a kilometer south was the Schleppenburg , which was also a moated castle and a manor. It has not been preserved.

Building

Courtyard

A site plan from 1716 shows Scheventorf Castle with the moat and the pond west of the castle that drained into the Glaner Bach. This operated the water mill, to which the mill garden belonged. The castle consisted of the main building with a courtyard, a horse stable, the Pforthaus and the Barbican , which was used as a brewery. The small garden, accessible via a dam, protruded into the mill pond. Outside the moat were the Great House Garden and the New Garden.

In the rectangular castle complex, the main building faces southwest. The coat of arms of those von Hake is at the entrance of the castle. The half-timbered connecting building between the main building of the castle and the former prisoner tower, which is considered to be the oldest half-timbered building in the region, dates from around 1552. The ground floor of the main castle building was accessible via a staircase that led to the hallway with a staircase to the upper floor. The hall provided access to the hall in the north-west, behind which there was a room and a chamber. The toilet , which was a bay window in front of the building, was accessible from the chamber . A chamber and a pantry were connected to the large kitchen to the east. The spinning room between the kitchen and the pantry faced south. Further rooms were connected to a courtyard to the northeast, where there was another toilet that was attached to the outside as a bay window. The prison house was also to the northeast. The stable was on the northwest side. A residential tower has not been preserved . Remnants of the masonry show signs of fire. The moat was later filled in.

history

Headquarters of the Scheventorf family

The Scheventorf family, who gave the castle its name, has been traceable in Osnabrück documents since the middle of the 13th century . The knight Wigger of Scevintorpe was named in 1252. In 1305 Wessel von Scheventorf had business relations with the abbot of the Benedictine monastery Iburg founded in 1080 by Bishop Benno II . The Scheventorfs had their headquarters south of the double complex of Iburg castle and monastery. In 1338 Johann von Scheventorf became master of Scheventorf; his brother Heinrich was master of the sick castle near Glane. Johann von Scheventorf sold the castle to Lubbert van Budde, who sold it on to Ludwig von Hake on May 31, 1365 . The family first mentioned in 1225 with Hermann von Hake came from the Haking farm in Glane-Visbeck and was in the service of the bishops of Osnabrück . She belonged to the Iburg Burgmann families, who belonged to the Hakesche Burgmannshof in Iburg until November 26, 1478. Even after the Scheventorf Castle was bought, the name of the moated castle was retained.

Ludwig von Hake's son Lüdeke, who took over the castle from his father, married Grete von Bar. Their son, who was named like his grandfather Ludwig, married Leneke von Hoberg and in 1416 received Scheventorf and the associated goods. Their sons Ludwig and Ludolf shared the inheritance in 1421; the moated castle stayed with Ludwig and passed to his son Reineke, who married Monike von Enniger around 1500. From this marriage came Johann von Hake, who married Sidonie von Dincklage in 1528.

Renaissance building

Johann von Hake and his wife erected today's Renaissance building in 1552 . They were followed by their son Reineke von Hake, married to Johanna von Ketteler zu Middelburg since 1556, after which his son Johann von Hake married Sybille von Raesfeld and professed Protestantism . At the Osnabrück prince-bishop Philipp Sigismund von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , he worked together with the lord of the neighboring Schleppenburg to ensure that the pastoral position in Glane , which became vacant in 1601, be filled with a Protestant clergyman. However, the prince-bishop did not prevail against the Osnabrück cathedral chapter.

Johann von Hake and his wife Sybille had two daughters; after Johann von Hakes death in 1628 his widow Sybille became Catholic again. The daughter Agnes Josina von Hake married Bernhard Jakob von Henderson († 1637 during the siege of Breda ); Scheventorf Castle fell to him through his marriage. The Scot was a lieutenant colonel in the service of the Swedish crown. From the marriage came the daughter Anna Sybille, lady-in-waiting of Liselotte von der Pfalz , and the son Bernhard Johann Jakob († 1676 in the Battle of the Konzer Bridge ), Rittmeister in the service of the Osnabrück prince-bishop Ernst August I.

In 1662 the Rittmeister sold Scheventorf Castle to Georg Christoph von Hammerstein . He swapped the castle and the Schleppenburg, which had meanwhile been acquired , for the Episcopal Gesmold Castle on January 26, 1664 , because Ernst August I wanted to expand his territory near Iburg Castle. His goal was to have more agriculturally usable land so that the court in Iburg could be supplied with sufficient food. The flat and fertile terrain around Scheventorf Castle and the Schleppenburg, which merges into the Münsterland , was better suited for agriculture than the hilly regions around the Iburger Schlossberg, which lie on the south side of the Teutoburg Forest . With the purchase, Scheventorf Castle and Schleppenburg became the property of the prince-bishop and became chamber property . Scheventorf Castle was owned by the Diocese of Osnabrück until the secularization in 1803 and was then owned by domain taxation.

In 1885 Gut Scheventorf was incorporated into what was then the rural community of Ostenfelde . The castle is now privately owned; the lands are used for agriculture.

Gut Hakenböckel in Westphalia

The von Hake zu Scheventorf family had belonged to the Ravensberg knighthood since at least 1265 and also had interests in the county of Ravensberg . For this reason, she owned part of the Böckel manor for about 200 years . This estate is located in the former borders of the County of Ravensberg, about 50 kilometers east of Bad Iburg, in the Bieren district of Rödinghausen (Herford district).

Presumably, the family owned the Altenböckel estate as early as the 15th century, which was later named Hakenböckel after them, as a fief of the Herford Abbey. Half of the wood county in Kilver Mark was also connected to the property. The family later also carried Niedermeyer's Hof in Schwenningdorf near Rödinghausen as a fief from Iburg Abbey .

The von Hake activities developed in the region in many ways. Around 1500 Ludolf von Hake was enfeoffed by the Abbess of Herford with the office of Hebemeisteramt (Villicus) of the Villication Lutterhausen, in which the farmers were located. The Ravensberger Urbar , which the Count of Ravensburg's officials had already tackled in 1535, was finished in 1556. According to this land register, about 15 independent farmers belonged to Hakenböckel. At that time, Johann von Hake zu Scheventorf and Böckel is given as the landlord and personal owner of these farmers. He was also active as vicar in the main parish of St. Bartholomäus zu Rödinghausen from 1535 to 1548.

At that time the Böckel manor was divided. Johann von Hake owned the part of the estate that, like the Bieren farmers, was part of the parish of Rödinghausen. The other part of the estate, which was mainly in the parish of Bünde, was owned by the von Quernheim family, who had acquired this part of the estate from the von dem Bussche-Gesmold family before 1495.

After the death of the last Johann von Hake zu Scheventorf in 1628, the property fell to his son-in-law Kobolt von Tambach, Drost zu Fürstenau. After the male line of von Hake had died out, the estate was mostly managed by tenants and administrators. Kobolt von Tambach sold Hakenböckel, the Lehnshof in Schwenningdorf, with the consent of the Iburg Abbey, as well as half of the wood county in Kilver Mark in 1661 to Heinrich von Voss. Other sources cite the year 1689 for the sale. The von Voss family already owned the former von Quernheimschen part of the estate by inheritance, which was then also named Vossböckel after them. After the purchase, both parts of the property were combined. The buildings that used to belong to Hakenböckel have not been preserved.

Anna von Hake

The so-called “Annekenloch”, a space in the area of ​​the former kitchen that was discovered during renovations in 1858, is a reminder of the tragic fate of Anna von Hake. A chair leg, pottery shards and remains of human bones were found in the jar. The lord's daughter is said to have been walled in alive by her father in the first half of the 17th century because she was said to have loved a forester or a farmhand. Their fate was alive in the collective memory of the people of Glane and Iburg. The priest and writer Bernhard Köster took up the legend and published the historical novel The beautiful Anna von Hake auf Scheventorf in 1924 , the third edition of which appeared in 1977.

In the bathroom Iburger district Ostenfelde was the Anna Hake path named after her.
