House Hardenberg (Herbern)
The now used as a farm house Hardenberg in the Ascheberger district Herbern ( Coesfeld belonging) peasantry Nordick was once a Wasserburg , only on the today, the moat has been preserved. The current buildings of the facility were built later.
location
The field path through which the Hardenberg House is accessed is called Gottesort . In earlier centuries the entire area around the farm was called this. Today the name refers to the surrounding area, partly as far as the Werner farming community of Horst. The property is close to Beckedorf and not far from the Krukenbaum farm.
history
The original name of the house is Harborg . It is unknown which family of knights first settled here. Around 1600 the estate was owned by the Lords of Ascheberg zu Venne . They leased it for the purpose of farming.
After Napoleon Bonaparte had lifted the feudal lordship over the estates of the Münsterland , the estate was sold to a Frye from Beckedorf around 1810. His family then called themselves Hardenberg. The descendants of the first owner are still the owners of the current farm.
The respective owners of the Hardenberg house have always been trademark judges in Schliek, a mark of the parish of Bockum . When they were divided, they received an acre of the best farmland as compensation for giving up this office.
Watermill
A watermill under trees outside the graves used to belong to the site . The first mill building must have been built before or around 1654, because Schwieters says:
“In 1654 a dispute arose over the water mill that Kasper v. Ascheberg had docked near Harborg; Arnold v. Boymer zu Stockum saw damage to his mill on the Lippe zu Stockum in this, and in 1654 had his servants demolish the mill at Hardenberg, saw the wheels, smash the waterwheel and gates, throw off the millstones and cut them to pieces. He justified his act of violence by saying that Harborg was in his Stockum court, where, as Lord of Stockum, he had sovereignty and jurisdiction. When they wanted to build a house on this estate (Harborg) many years ago, they would have chosen a place that belonged to the Stockum bycatch because they preferred to live in this district than in the area of the Prince-Bishop of Münster. The matter was brought to the court in Munster, and in favor of Mr. Ascheberg decided; the latter was allowed to rebuild the mill "under the protection of the Führer and Frohnen", v. Boymer (Böhmer) had to pay damages and should pay a fine of 500 gold guilders for renewed violence. "
Frohnbote refers to a courier, the leader (also called parish leader) was a police servant.
Later there was a mill built in 1802, as evidenced by an oak beam over the mill gate with the following inscription:
“In 1801 on December 11th I fell down by fire and in 1802 on June 5th I got up again. "
This successor building was made of red brick and strong, browned oak beams. When Fritz Schumacher described it in 1958, it was over 150 years old and no longer served its original purpose of grinding grain and beating oil. At that time the wheel had already disappeared.
The Mühlbach, which is still present today, flowed through the meadows through a bank region surrounded by bushes, crossed a swampy forest in which cowslips, evergreens , orchid and woodruff grew in spring , then flowed past Beckedorf Castle Square, whose moat used to be from it had been fed, and then into the lip .
