history
In 1852 the current owner of Brincke bought the Wallenbrück (meanwhile demolished) and Warmenau estates . Warmenau was initially owned by the von Cappel family . Around 1560 there is a Heinrich v. Cappel as the owner. The von Cappel family belonged to the Ravensberg knighthood as early as 1470, which is why they could have been the Lords of Warmenau as early as 1470 (see Horst). In 1686 the estate was bought by von Nagel zu Wallenbrück , from whom it was bequeathed to von dem Bussche in 1775 . At the beginning of the 19th century August von der Groeben bought the estate , who in 1832 sold it to Rittmeister Soest zu Melle. In Soest's bankruptcy in 1852, Graf von Korff gen. Schmising - Kerssenbrock zu Brincke acquired the Hanoverian part (the part that is now Lower Saxony) of the property.
