history

The first mention of the house, whose name on a cleared Horst suggesting, in the years 1386/1387, when a Claws Gelkens from Rodehorst to the Lords of Culemborg, the owners of the castle Werth made, payments. Later it was owned by a von Wittenhorst family. In the 1570s, the house served as the official residence of Wertherbruch's rent master, Hermann van Würtzhausen. When Spanish soldiers pillaged and devastated the Wertherbruch peasantry as part of the Eighty Years' War , the Rodehorst estate was also destroyed. After Christian ter Huetten leased the facility and began its reconstruction, the house suffered major damage from a storm in 1631. In the course of the 17th century, when the tenants changed several times, the building received its current appearance. In 1715 the Prussian General Field Marshal Alexander Hermann von Wartensleben acquired the Wertherbruch peasantry. Since then, Gut Rodehorst has served as the seat of the officials of the Counts of Wartensleben. In 1805 the magistrate Friedrich Wilhelm Hermanni (1755–1816) and his wife Catharina Henrietta, née Roß, bought the estate from the Count of Wartensleben for 11,500 Reichstaler. Their descendants sold the house in 1917 to Wolfgang Andreas Reuter , the founder of Duisburg Demag , who used it as a country house. Ownership changed several times during the 20th century. In 1998 the house was placed under monument protection.
