history
The building, also known as Haus Packenius, served as the town house of two important castle owner families and was built around 1800 in classicist forms. The building is located at Graf-Gerhard-Straße 3 not far from the old town hall. The upper-class two-storey residential building is a three-wing city courtyard in five axes. The building was built of brick and was plastered on the front. The door frames and window frames are made of bluestone, in front of the portal there is a double flight of stairs with a wrought iron railing. The house has a basement and has bluestone ox eyes in the basement. The owner of the house was initially Alexander Packenius, who was mayor of Wassenberg and Birgelen around 1820 and who had also bought Wassenberg Castle . It came into the possession of the Forckenbeck family through his daughter and heir, as she had been married to Oskar von Forckenbeck since 1861 , the new designer of the Wassenberg Jewish break and founder of the first German newspaper museum in Aachen. Forckenbeck died in Wassenberg in 1898 at the age of 76.
