history

House Hückelhoven, which was built in an area that was dependent on an estate belonging to the Gerresheim monastery , the Nonnenhof , was located in an impassable break ground and was surrounded by moats . Hückelhoven probably took on the role of a school yard. Like the nearby Watereck house in the neighboring Vierlinden district, the Hückelhoven house was still provided with defensive towers at the end of the Middle Ages.

House Hückelhoven belonged to the Counts of Kleve . From 1370 to 1488 a Hysfelt family was enfeoffed with Hückelhoven. By marriage, the house came to the Neukirch ( Nykerken ) family, who held the house for 250 years.

During the Truchsessian War (1583–1588) and the Eighty Years War (1568–1648) and Thirty Years War (1618–1648) the house was destroyed and rebuilt several times. In 1742 the property was divided. A Neukirch said Kate with six Dutch morning remained. It was leased to Jakob Luwen and Katharina Neukirch ( Neykirchs ) in 1775 . The goods came to Hermann Hussmann from Spellen through marriage in 1846. After his son Hermann died in 1935, his widow Anna, née Opgen-Rhein, sold the Kate and associated goods to the municipality of Walsum in 1955. The last tenant was Gerhard Beckedahl before the building was demolished in 1956.
