Gut Kesselsberg
The Good Kesselberg is a medieval farm on the southern outskirts of Duisburg in the district Huckingen on Angerbach .
Naming
Until the 15th century the estate was simply called Hof auf dem Berge . After that the farm was named Kessel after its owners, the lords of Bottlenberg . Gut Kesselsberg therefore stands for the estate on the Kessel Berg .
history
The former manor is located above the sand mill on a small hill on which traces of the younger Stone Age , the Iron Age and the Franconian times have already been found.
Due to its close proximity to the sand mill, it is assumed that the Kesselsberg estate was an economic yard for the sand mill. In contrast to the sand mill and most of the other medieval buildings on the Angerbach, Gut Kesselsberg was spared the floods of the Angerbach, which occurred again and again in the past, due to its location.
The first documentary mention comes from the year 1349. In that year the Bergische Marshal Wennemar von Bottlenberg received the farm on the mountain from Margarete von Ravensberg-Berg , Countess von Berg, for lease. In 1434 the redemption of the pension is notarized by paying 250 guilders to the Count of Berg , which was confirmed by a notary in 1568. In 1646 the estate was rebuilt after being badly damaged by the Thirty Years' War .
In 1744 Kesselsberg came to the Lords of Romberg through the marriage of the heir daughter Mechtild Christina von Bottlenberg gt. Kessel with Conrad Stephan von Romberg . In 1802 Friedrich Gisbert Wilhelm von Romberg , Prussian lieutenant general and governor of Stettin, sold Kesselsberg in 1802 to Count Carl-Wilhelm von Spee . At that time, Heinrich Brockerhoff and the Heesen family are given as tenants. In 1908, Count von Spee awarded the lease to Michael Kreifels, whose youngest son Peter continued the lease until 1965.
Building and current use
The courtyard buildings are open to the south in a horseshoe shape. The current house and the barn were built at the end of the 18th century.
After a series of construction works, e.g. B. new settlements, the B 288, the diversion of the Angerbach, the agricultural area of the estate had been greatly reduced, the agricultural use of the estate had to be given up in 1965. Today the Kesselsberg estate is used as a boarding house and riding stables.
Others
The Kesselsberg underground station on the DVG / Rheinbahn line U 79 is within sight . The Kesselsberg station is one of several underground stations that were created in the early 1970s in advance of the construction of a high-rise estate. However, this new district was never built. Even today, one of the underground stations established at that time is a ghost station, namely the neighboring Angerbogen underground station .
