history

The Dietkirchener Hof was originally a Fronhof of the monastery and later Dietkirchen Abbey in Bonn . It first appeared in a document in the High Middle Ages (dated 1113). In the 18th century, the farm building, the oldest preserved part of the courtyard, was built, and in 1872 the manor house (Rheinstrasse 161) was built on the banks of the Rhine.

From 1933 to 1938/39, the Dietkirchener Hof was a kibbutz and a center for preparing Jewish youth for emigration to Palestine , the so-called Hachschara . It was called Kibbutz Bamaaleh ("Bamaaleh" = on the rise), was sponsored by the Zionist world association Hechaluz and was financed by the Jewish textile manufacturer Arthur Stern - originally together with the German government . About 50–70 young people lived and worked here - up to the beginning of 1938 over 18 years old, then 15–17 year olds - who acquired agricultural and craft skills in neighboring farms. After the Second World War , the community bought the farm.

By April 1, 1951, the Kingdom of the Netherlands established the residence of its embassy in the property , the residence of the ambassador in the Federal Republic of Germany at the seat of government in Bonn . After the residence was moved to Bonn in 1967/68, the courtyard was used as the residence of the embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden . In the course of the relocation of the seat of government , the Swedish embassy moved to Berlin in 1999 , the official farewell in the residence took place on June 7th. The Dietkirchener Hof was then extensively renovated from 2000 to 2002, with the manor house as well as the coach house and gatehouse divided into condominiums .

The entry of the courtyard in the list of monuments of the city of Wesseling took place on December 22nd, 1988. On the wall of the building at Rheinstrasse 165 there is a crossroad which is also a listed building. The farm also has an extensive park area (about 0.4 hectares ), some of which is under landscape protection.
