Good Binkhoff
Gut Binkhoff (also spelled "Binkhof") is a former manor and is located on the eastern edge of today's municipality of Bönen in the Unna district , North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The estate was first mentioned in a document in 1315. Of the old buildings and the surrounding moats little is preserved. Parts of the complex were added to the list of monuments of Bönen in 1988 under the number 51 .
History and owner
It is an old fiefdom from the Brandenburg region , which is already listed in the so-called "oldest loan books of the Counts of the Mark " from 1392/93.
Von Binkhoff and von Ackenschock
With Johan de Biginchove, a member of this sex appeared for the first time in 1315. Since the coat of arms of the family, apart from the colors, is the same as that of the von der Recke family resident in this area, the Westphalian historian Johann Dietrich von Steinen (1699–1759) suspected that both sexes are related. Up to the middle of the 16th century there are a number of documented mentions of the estate, the spelling of which varies between Byginchove, Byginckhove, Byynchove, Biinchoff, Bynckhof and Bynchof. In 1522 a Joist Bynckhoff is recorded in the Brandenburg knighthood of the Hamm office . In 1549 a sovereign “consensus” was issued to pledge the property to Henrich Ackenschock, a nephew of the aforementioned Joist. In 1563 the property was handed over to Henrich Ackenschock and in 1567 the property was enfeoffed. It then remained in the possession of the von Ackenschock family for two centuries. In 1767 the property is allodified : the feudal property becomes an individual property.
From Plettenberg and from Bodelschwingh
1768 the estate is sold to the owner of the manor house Heyde , 3.7 km south , Christoph Friedrich Steffen von Plettenberg (1698–1777), a retired lieutenant general in the service of Frederick the Great . The estate then remained associated with Haus Heyde and its respective owners for over a century and a half, but they did not live there. The buyer's granddaughter, Friederike von Plettenberg (1768–1850), who married Franz von Bodelschwingh - Velmede (1754–1827) in 1785 , bequeathed Haus Heyde including Binkhoff to her second son, the Prussian finance minister Carl von Bodelschwingh- Heyde (1800–1873) ). After his death it is owned by his eldest son Ernst (1830–1881), who was district administrator for the district of Hamm for 14 years. At the end of the 19th century the estate, which at that time was 75 hectares in size, is leased to the farmer Schulze-Beckinghausen, and later to the farmer Kissing. Agnes von Bodelschwingh (1877–1929), the unmarried younger daughter of Udo von Bodelschwingh-Heyde (1840–1921, only surviving son of Finance Minister Carl von Bodelschwingh) becomes the heiress of Gut Binkhoff, which is separated from the Heyde house. After her death, property relations are tangled. The owner eventually became Wennemar von Bodelschwingh (1913–1941), the youngest of the four children of Agne's older sister; but he died in the war in 1941 with no heirs. Later, his older brother Heinz von Bodelschwingh (1907–1993) is the owner of the property. After 1970 he sells it to a Hans Felix Westhoff from Warendorf , who does not run the estate himself. Since around 1970, the von Plettenberg family has been cultivating the estate's lands on the immediately adjacent Haus Heeren estate .
Location and appearance
The property is still free in the field, about 500 meters east of Bönen-Altenbögge, barely two kilometers to the west is the Kamener Kreuz . According to the original cadastral map from 1828 , the mansion was on an island surrounded by a broad moat. Opposite the mansion there was another, much smaller building on the island. To the north, outside the inner moat, two smaller buildings are drawn, probably farm buildings. A long moat extends southwest of the inner moat, which may originally have been part of a narrow, outer moat. 1881 it was in a book on the art and history monuments of the circle Hamm : "From the knight seat Bynkhof ... are only a square yard with old and new farm buildings , the moat and further away, a second grave belt in the south, west and half left in the east. Otherwise the whole property breathes the rurality of a farm. "
Others
In 1482, the "Lords of Akenschock auf Binkhoff" donated a vicarie with an altar to the Three Kings for the church in Kamen . In earlier centuries were among Binkhoff as a basic rule still several farms in the area.
