The Herold house (also known as Villa Hövel ) in Ibbenbüren , a town in the Steinfurt district in North Rhine-Westphalia , was built in 1892. The villa at Breiten Straße 9 has been a protected architectural monument since 1987 .
history
The house was built by the carpenter and building contractor Julius Hövel for his father Bernhard, who moved in with his unmarried sister the following year. After Bernhard Hövel's death in 1906, his sister Agnes lived alone in the villa. In 1912 Johann Bernhard Martin Többen, a cousin of the textile manufacturer Bernhard Többen, bought the villa. In 1982 the city of Ibbenbüren bought the villa from the Herold family and rented it to different users.
After the local museum association was founded in August 2007 , the town of Ibbenbüren left the villa to the association for use as a museum on November 10, 2007. Since then, Haus Herold has housed the Ibbenbüren City Museum .
In consultation with the registry office, weddings are offered in the villa in a historical setting.
