Achternberg House
The Achternberg house is a former manor in the Kray district of Essen .
history
First mentions appear in the 12th century. Around 1300 the gentlemen von Heege owned the house. The probably two-part system came into the possession of the Knights of Asbeck zu Goor in 1421 . In 1638 ownership of these passed to Johann Sigismund von Arbeck and the Hardenberge . By succession it then came to the Wendt von Hardenberg family in 1646 , who were enfeoffed with the estate in 1715. In their estate there is a record from 1721 stating that the Achternberg house is in poor condition and that it is being rebuilt.
In 1750 there was an inheritance that led to the sale of the house to the Essen Canonichen Chapter, which leased it to the Silberkuhl couple as a time gain. This lease right was granted to their son Peter Silberkuhl and Anna geb. Transferred to Nettelnbusch. After this time the property , which had meanwhile passed to Prussia , was leased. On February 6, 1824, the economist Christian Nedelmann from Eckendorf was found to be the tenant . Due to the Achternbergmühle, the contract was challenged and as a result a settlement and its cancellation. This was followed in 1827 by a long lease with the economist Wilhelm Voss from Steele . At that time the estate was 179 acres in size. In the handover it was noted separately that the Achternbergmühle is leased to the miller Joseph Rathmann and his wife for life according to the contract dated November 18, 1800. The contract with Peter Silberkuhl was terminated on August 24, 1826 after being extended.
The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG acquired the property in 1900. It was destroyed by fire in 1905, whereby only the gatehouse to the courtyard entrance with a flat, pyramid-shaped tent roof, which was renovated in 2001, remained. This gatehouse was built from Ruhr sandstone in the 15th and 16th centuries in the Renaissance style.
character
According to the original cadastre from 1821, there were two building complexes to the south and west of the gatehouse. To the east there were larger trenches, which are now backfilled, but can still be recognized by subsidence and different vegetation. According to planning documents from 1803 and 1806, the moat systems expanded further in north and south-westerly directions.
