House Böckum (in old sources also Buechen , Boichem or Boecum ) is a medieval aristocratic residence in the Duisburg district of Huckingen on the old Angerbach . House Böckum is the only preserved moated castle in the Duisburg city area, even if most of its moats are now dry.
Naming
The name Böckum is derived from Hof zu den Buchen ( Hof zo den Buechen ) and can thus be traced back to the beech forest that used to reach Böckum , of which only the Duisburg city forest remains today.
history
The moated castle was a fiefdom of the Counts of Berg for centuries . The first documentary mention comes from the year 1345 in the form of the person Thyderich van den Boken , who can be identified as Dietrich von Rheinheim from the noble family of the Lords of Kalkum . Dietrich's presumed daughter Mechtild von Rheinheim brought Böckum through marriage to Hermann von der Seldung (also Hermann von der Seeldonck or Hermann von Schlickum ), 1369 to 1391 bailiff at Angermund , who pledged Böckum in 1369 (here: Hof zu den Buchen ). This same Hermann was still in the possession of Böckum in 1402 when he made his will. Shortly afterwards he passed away. Böckum came to the Lords of Ulenbroich through his daughter. Shortly afterwards, in 1405, Böckum was destroyed by Cologne mercenaries in the course of the Kalkum feuds (see also Haus Remberg ).
From 1440 to approx. 1760 at the latest, the von Buer owners were owners of Böckum. Initially Hermann von Buir , who was married to Agnes von Uhlenbroich. Their son Heinrich was the owner around 1500 and his son Hermann around 1540. Until 1608 Hermann's son Johann von Buir (also von Bawyr ), 1609 Johann's nephew, Johann Hermann von Bawyr, Lord of Boekem, Romlian and Frankenberg (Aachen), was the owner. In 1644 Johann Hermann's son Johann von Bawyr , who in 1636 married the heiress Maria von Scheidt called Weschpfennig zu Heltorf , was the owner. After the death of Johann von Bawyr in 1647, his son Johann Friedrich von Bawyr followed him until 1681. Johann's widow, Maria Freiin von Scheidt, married Freiherr Friedrich Christian von Spee in 1649 in the Böckum house .
In 1661 Johann Bertram von Scheid called Weschpfennig reported to his son-in-law Friedrich Christian von Spee about a planned new building for the Böckum house. After that, the Böckum house belonged to General Friedrich Ferdinand Bawyr von Frankenberg , son of Johann Friedrich von Bawyr , who asked for timber in 1708 . In the meantime, in 1702, during the siege of Kaiserswerth in the War of the Spanish Succession , the farm buildings had burned down.
After the von Buer / Bawyr of this line became extinct in the male line towards the middle of the 18th century, the house was sold by the heirs to Theodor von Hallberg in 1767 . Together with the married couple Peter Blumenkamp and Catharina Christina Broickerhoff, he bet half-winners on Haus Böckum. In 1801, the industrialist and councilor from Ratingen, Johann Gottfried Brügelmann, bought the house. After his death in 1802 it came to his son of the same name, Johann Gottfried jun. After his death in 1808, his daughter Charlotte inherited the house. In 1856, as the widow of Karl Heinrich Engelbert von Oven, she sold the house to Count von Spee , whose family sold it in 2012 to the Berlin investor "S + P Real Estate".
The Stroetrecht (from "Stroet" for shrub, bush, thicket) also belonged to the Böckum house. This was about the right to keep wild horses in the forest, which apart from the Duke of Berg only had a few knight seats (Böckum, Heltorf , Broich , Haus zum Haus , Groß-Winkelhausen , Oefte and Landsberg ).
Today's condition and usage
Today's U-shaped facility was built in several construction phases. The oldest section is the eastern part of the building with a tower made of exposed brick with a curved, slate-covered hood . This part, including the gate and the brick stone bridge leading to it, which replaced an earlier drawbridge , was built as a mansion in 1661 and replaced an older castle complex that stood on the now undeveloped northern part of the moated castle complex. The remaining parts of the building, which date from the 18th and 19th centuries, are agricultural buildings.
The entire system is since 27 June 1991 under monument protection . The Böckum house is still used for poultry farming today. After the shutdown of commercial use around 2008, a conversion to residential units is planned.
In February 2017 one of the now unused poultry houses belonging to the Böckum house burned down next to the castle complex.
