history

In 1243 a Conrad von der Dorneburg called von Aschebrock was first mentioned. This family branched out into several branch lines (to Malenburg, to Nosthausen ) and inherited their ancestral seat through the von der Brüggeney family, called Hasenkamp, ​​around 1500 to the von Loë family , who with their branch line from Loë to Dorneburg owned the rulership until 1669 stayed.

In that year Elisabeth Klara von Loë married Conrad von und zu Strünkede (born on August 30, 1645; died on May 20, 1707 in Hamm) from Haus Strünkede near Herne. After the early death of his first wife, von Strünkede married Countess Sophie von Schwerin.

As a result of the flooding of the Rhine near Mehrum , Konrad had lost extensive land because the Prussian elector wanted to preserve the new river bed. Since a compensation negotiation failed despite the offer of 16,000 thalers, Friedrich III transferred. von Strünkede on March 6, 1690 the civil and criminal jurisdiction over the "Eickel court", to which u. a. Dorneburg, the village Eickel, Holsterhausen , Röhlinghausen and Bickern belonged. Conrad is, after Hegler in his function as Clevischer and Märkischer Privy Councilor, Chamberlain and Droste of the offices of Bockum and Castrop , the most important owner of the Dorneburg house. His successor was the fourth son Karl von Strünkede (1697–1770). He and his wife were no longer buried in Herne. In the 1740s, the Dorneburg went bankrupt. At an auction in 1745, Friedrich Heinrich von Kuczinsky (also Kuschinsky) remained the last bidder. He died without leaving any descendants, so that his nephew, Captain August Friedrich von Kuczinsky, who came from Danzig, inherited the property. He was followed by marriage to the later district administrator of the Bochum district , Moritz von Untzer .

In 1844 the old castle burned down. The main building, as well as the farm buildings with mill, were redesigned in the classicism style , reusing the baroque portal of the Gosewinkel house belonging to the Dorneburg house . Moritz von Untzer transferred the property to his sons, the Privy Councilor Gustav von Untzer (1798–1862) and Major Karl von Untzer. After Karl, who remained unmarried, died in 1866 and, in the absence of direct heirs, the entire property, consisting of the manor house, farm buildings and the mill, as well as around 40 to 50  acres of land, was put up for sale, with the Wanner farmer Heinrich Riemann buying. In 1868 the property was no longer eligible for parliament . The area later came to Hibernia AG .

Until it was destroyed in 1942/1943, during the Second World War , as a result of the Allied air raids , the former aristocratic residence served at times as a restaurant, residential building and prison camp. The remnants of the building were removed after the end of the war between 1951 and 1955 and a modern settlement was built on the site. The street "Auf der Dorneburg" indicates the original location.
