Ehmken Hoff

The Ehmken Hoff is a group of relocated buildings in the municipality of Dörverden in Lower Saxony . The eponymous farm is a historic farmhouse , it was originally located on Sympher Allee in Dörverden.

The house documents the change in the Low German hall houses "from the predominantly used cattle house of the late Middle Ages with a surrounding bucket , through the necessary expansion and economic recovery after the Thirty Years' War to the representative farmhouse".

history

The building stood on a Carolingian foundation that was dated back to the 9th century AD.

The beginnings of the low German hall house were dated to the year 1545, the existing state of construction to 1813.

The house was given up by the Stühring family and then dismantled by the founder Hermann Wiebe in order to rebuild it in coordination with the monument protection authority.

Todays use

In 2010, the HF Wiebe Foundation and the Ehmken Hoff eV association started building a "cultural asset" in the center of Dörverden with the help of EU funds. The Ehmken Hoff cultural property includes, among other things, two historic farmhouses that were saved from decay, a farm garden and a meadow with orchards. In 13 action groups of the association, over 150 volunteers take care of the operation and other cultural and home care tasks. On March 1, 2011 the first building, the Kochs Hof, was inaugurated.

An intercultural garden and a playground are still in the planning stage. The Ehmken Hoff, Wagenschauer, Backhaus, Scheune and garden pavilion are to be added by 2014 [out of date] . The association organizes art exhibitions, book presentations, Low German afternoons and other cultural events several times a year. The larger events include an asparagus festival in spring, a potato festival in autumn and the “Dörverdener Kulturtage” in summer.
