The Hammerstein manor , sometimes referred to as the Hammerstein House , was located in Wuppertal in what is now the Vohwinkel district . It was west of Sonnborn and down in front of the Steeg on the right side of the Wupperside . The location of Hammerstein goes back to this manor .
description
On the Topographia Ducatus Montani (1715) by Erich Philipp Ploennies it is noted as "Hamerstein".
It is not known that representations of the layout of the mansion have survived. It can therefore be assumed that it was not a representative building, but rather an estate that is described as a “simple two-story building”. Other information about the knight's seat has also been passed down in fragments, the first mention going back to the 12th century.
It is said that the estate included a water mill . It has not been proven whether remains of the manor in the Villa Hammerstein building ensemble , which is located on Hammersteiner Allee , have been preserved. The altitude of the villa seems to be improbable for the manor, the reason for this is the lack of ditches and lack of water supply, etc. It is also speculated whether this permanent house was built to secure a crossing over the Wupper.
The name "Schloss Hammerstein", which can be found on a Vohwinkel map in the address book from the Mettmann district from 1895, is probably just a popular name for Villa Hammerstein with its landscaped park. The ensemble of buildings in the villa was used as a summer bar with a hall and other lounges around 1897.
history
According to Gerhart Werner, Otto von Hammerstein is said to have sought protection from the Counts of Berg when he was on the run because of the conflict over his marriage ; In addition, he is said to have acquired an interest yard from Werden Abbey east of Wülfrath , which was named Gut Hammerstein . This Zinshof became the headquarters of the later barons of Hammerstein .
A family relationship between Otto von Hammerstein and the barons von Hammerstein has not been proven. For the von Hammerstein, however, this property was only a stopover (in Wülfrath there is also a local location called " Hammerstein "). Later they used the knight's seat in Sonnborn an der Wupper, which they gave the name from around the 15th century. They regained influence and prestige. They were given high offices by the Duke von Berg.
The property is said to have been rebuilt in 1409. Two hundred years later, in 1604, there was another new building, which, however, was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1633 . After this destruction, the estate was rebuilt, at which time Johann Quadt is documented as the owner of the estate.
In the Hückeswagen office , members of the family acquired the Wolfsoege farm, which was also known as Hammersteinsoege from that point on, and built another manor there, also on the Wupper. ( See Hammerstein in Hückeswagen )
The Hammerstein manor passed into civil hands in 1811 when the miller owned the mill, Heinrich Reiffen, and his wife Anna Catharina (née Koettgen) bought the estate for 53,856 francs and 50 centimes (or 17,952 Reichsthaler, 10 Stüber) and a cash sum of 42,000 Franc (14,000 Reichsthaler), together 95,856 francs and 50 centimes, acquired from the brothers Friedrich and Georg von Hammerstein. The brothers were the authorized representatives of their father Georg August Freiherr von Hammerstein-Gesmold. The purchase included the right to fish and hunt and other accessories.
1825 acquired sub Barmer merchant Johann Christian Jung the estate and left on the hill in 1826, the Villa Hammerstein build. The Hammerstein an der Wupper cotton spinning mill was established between 1835 and 1837 .
