Good Oevinghausen

Gut Oevinghausen was a manor near Waltringen . The abbot of Werden gave it to the Counts of Arnsberg as a thank you for secular protection in a legal dispute in 1036 . It served as an outpost against the Lords of Altena-Mark . Later it was owned by the von Böckenförde families called Schüngel and von Plettenberg .

In 1928 a fire destroyed the estate to the ground. In order to finance the reconstruction, today's Werler Stadtwald was sold to the city of Werl . The childless widow of Hunold Freiherr von Plettenberg-Oevinghausen , Elisabeth, b. Baroness von Ochs bequeathed the estate to the Bethel Foundation in 1962 . It was bought by a farmer in 1965.
