House huts
House Hüsten (also called Hof bei Kirchhof or Hövels Hof in official documents ) is a former aristocratic seat in Hüsten (City of Arnsberg ). Its history as an estate goes back to the 13th century. Parts of the current building date from the first half of the 16th century. After numerous changes of ownership over the centuries, it is now owned by the Hüsten Schützenbruderschaft "Under the protection of the Holy Spirit from 1435".
Location and possession
The building is in the immediate vicinity of the St. Petri Church and the Market of Freedom Hüsten. However, like the church, it was outside the limits of the freedom of Hüsten, which was founded in 1360 . Haus Hüsten formed the core of an extensive property. This comprised around 64 hectares. There were also several leased properties (farms and cottages) and various rights .
history
The historian Johann von der Berswordt , who himself managed Haus Hüsten in the 17th century, provides extensive information about the house's past. The gentlemen from Ardey appear as the first owners . Ludwig Graf von Arnsberg acquired the property from these before 1289. The owners then gave the property as a fief.
One of the most important tenants was Coert von Ketteler - in a document from 1233 he is named Conradus de Hustene castellanus . In 1377 a Berthold Schade was a sub-clerk of the von Hüsten / Ketteler family, who were themselves based in Hachen . During this time the Hüsten house became a knight's seat. By marriage in the second half of the 14th century, Haus Hüsten became the property of the Schade family. It remained in this for the following 150 years. Between 1521 and 1577/79 the Hüsten manor was owned by the von Plettenberg family . The von Holdinghausen and von Orsbeck (or Orsbach) families followed. In 1585 the property was bought by the von der Berswordt patrician family from Dortmund .
After a period of unclear and changing ownership in the first half of the 17th century, Haus Hüsten had been in the possession of the von Hövel family from Dortmund, who leased it, from the second half of the century. In 1685 the barons von Fürstenberg acquired part of the property, and in 1712 the remainder. At times it was used as a vicarie by the Hüsten parish .
The Hüsten Schützenbruderschaft acquired the house in 1979 from Engelbert Eberhard Freiherr von Fürstenberg. As a result, the building was renovated. It was used as a brotherhood museum for many years. After further extensive renovations and renovations, a wedding room was set up on the ground floor, in which bridal couples in the city of Arnsberg can say yes. As part of this, the museum has moved to the upper floor.
