The early mansion is located on Petersilienstraße in Herford New Town , not far from the St. Johannis Church . The house, equipped with a three-storey stepped gable , was built in 1591 for the dean of the local collegiate monastery St. Dionysius ( Enger monastery ) .

It was later rebuilt several times. After the monastery was secularized in 1810, the house came into private hands. In 1882, the future submarine commander Otto Weddigen was born here, which is why the early mansion is also known as Weddigenhaus .

It has belonged to the Johannis parish since 1930 and is used as a parish hall. In 2004/2005 the early mansion was completely renovated. The facade and windows were reconstructed in their original form.

The early mansion has been a listed building since 1981 .

In the years 2003 to 2005, the restoration was carried out by the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Herford-Mitte under the construction management of Pastor Johannes Beer and Presbyter Karl-Hermann Meier, accompanied by civil engineer Günter Bollert. The grand reopening was on May 12, 2005.
