monument
Haus Eller is a registered monument ("important for human history and worth preserving for scientific, especially architectural and local history as well as housekeeping reasons"). Haus Eller is a former agricultural property. The housing of the Dreiseithofs is a truss - Ständerbau with five-axis window and derived according to the yard gate fitting original obtained from the year 1778. The facade in 1850 (evidenced by wall anchor) through an elaborately designed superior Ver clinkering renewed. Worth seeing inside are, among other things, next to a stucco ceiling in the former "parlor" Cologne ceilingsas well as historical cannon furnaces . The oak roof truss - along with other details - also dates from the time it was built. The name "Haus Eller" is reminiscent of the Eller family who lived in the farm in the 19th and 20th centuries. The last member of the family was the mayor and honorary citizen of Bergheim Christian Eller († 1930), to whom Ahe owes in particular the construction of today's church in 1929.
collection
The music publisher Christoph Dohr built a private piano museum in the “Haus Eller” memorial yard in Bergheim -Ahe (near Cologne ). The museum has been open to groups for guided tours since 2007 by prior arrangement. Since September 2005 concerts have been held regularly, in which historical instruments and their copies come to life. During these concerts, parts of the collection can also be viewed outside of the guided tours. Since 2002, CDs have been released for sound documentation, recorded on the instruments of the Dohr Collection. The collection has several focuses: (1) fortepiano from the period 1790 to 1900; (2) square pianos from 1770 to 1880; (3) 20th century keel instruments; (4) Special shapes and specialties.
